Scientists can classify things into two categories: living and nonliving. Of the living things, scientists can further classify living organisms into unicellular and multicellular subcategories.

1.

An inference (claim) is a "conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning."

A) Think about an answer (claim) to the question, what is the difference between a prokaryote and eukaryote and make your claim.

B) Look at the image and name 2-3 observations that support your claim (change your claim if you do not like it).
C) Explain your reasoning, why does the evidence support your claim.

How can you sort organisms based on the the types of cells living things contain? Organisms composed of only one cell that have no nucleus are called prokaryotes, whereas all other cells having a nucleus, whether found in single or many-celled organisms, are called eukaryotes.

Prokaryotic cells include all species of bacteria. Prokaryotic cells have the basic structures common to all cells, which include a cell membrane surrounding the cytoplasm and DNA.

However, prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-enclosed organelles such as mitochondria or a nucleus. Prokaryotic cells do contain ribosomes, but there is debate as to whether or not a ribosome counts as a type of organelle. Therefore, the question of whether or not prokaryotic cells contain any organelles is still up for debate.

10.

Which of these is most likely a prokaryote?

Eukaryotic cells include the cells of plants, animals, fungi (such as mushrooms), and protists (such as the unicellular microorganisms Euglena and Amoeba). Similar to prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and DNA. However, eukaryotic cells are more complex. They have something that prokaryotic cells do not: organelles surrounded by membranes. These include mitochondria and a nucleus, where DNA is stored.
