As best as you can define the following words (please do not look these us on the internet, just tell me what you think):
Nucleus
Organelle
DNA

1

Directions for the interactive to the left:
Terms that apply to the eukaryotic cell are placed in the nucleus.
Terms that apply to the prokaryotic cell are in the bacterium.
Terms that apply to both eukaryotes and prokaryotes are placed in the cytoplasm.
Drag the terms by the red points and place them in the open circle destination points.

1

Directions for Reading:

You are going to read some information to give you a deeper understanding of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. As you read, you will complete short tasks to help you process what you've read.

Your goal is to collect evidence from the text - you will be provided a space to take notes and record as much evidence as you feel is necessary to compare and contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Different Types of Cells

There are different types of cells. For example, within your body, there are blood cells, skin cells, bone cells, and even bacteria. All cells will be from one of two types. It all depends upon how the cell stores its DNA.

Two Types of Cells

There is another basic cell structure that is present in many, but not all, living cells - the nucleus. The nucleus of a cell is a structrue within the cytoplasm that is surrounded by a membrane (nuclear membrane) and contains and protects the cell's DNA.

The presence or absence of the nucleus is the primary determining factor in classifying a cell as a prokaryote or a eukaryote.

Prokaryotic Cells

These are cells without a nucleus. The DNA in prokaryotic cells is in the cytoplasm rather than enclosed within a nucleus. Prokaryotic cells are single-celled and encompass all bacteria. Ribosomes, the site of protein synthesis, is the only other structure, other than the DNA, found within the cytoplasm of a prokaryote.

Eukaryotic Cells

Eukaryotes are cells that contain a nucleus. Eukaryoticells are usually larger in size than prokaryotes and are primarly found within multicellular organisms - such as, humans, plants, and fungi.

They also contain membrane-bound organelles, other than the nucleus. An organelle is a structure within the cytoplasm that carries out a unique and specialized function. Orgnelles include - mitochondria, Golgi body, endoplasmic reticulum, and the chloroplast. Organelles allow the eukaryote to carry out more functions than prokaryotic cells can.

In some ways, a cell resembles a plastic bag filled with Jell-O. Its basic structure around the outside of the cell is the _______ membrane that is filled with _______ on the inside of the cell. Like Jell-O that contains fruit pieces, the cytoplasm contains structures with specialized functions (similar to the organs in your body) called _______.
