Background Questions What are Eukaryotic

cells?

What makes a Eukaryotic cell a cell? Hint (Cells and Organelles)

What If we lost some of the organelles in a Eukaryotic cell would it be considered a cell still?

Background Questions Round 2

What is a Prokaryote?

Hypothesis Anyone?

Your Assignment You have been given the task of

observing what are the difference/s between a Prokaryote and a eukaryote.

You will be given two slides to look at and make a list of things that might be different between the two.

Your Slides PROKARYOTE EUKARYOTE

E. coli

Your Slides PROKARYOTE EUKARYOTE

The DifferencesPROKARYOTE EUKARYOTE

Small 0.2-10 µm

Outside of Cell Flagellum and Pilli

Lack Nucleus, Peroxisome, chloroplasts, Mitochondria, Rough & Smooth ER, Golgi Apparatus

Ten times the size of bacteria

Outside of Cell Cilia

Have Nucleus, Peroxisome, chloroplasts, Mitochondria, Rough & Smooth ER, Golgi Apparatus

The Similarities Both have Genetic Material (DNA)

Both have cell membranes

Both have ribosomes

What's the DEAL! Why do I need to learn this why is it important?
