Notes: Prokaryotes vs. EukaryotesFrom Chapter 4 in your book.
Standards
I can differentiate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
All living cells - two groups
Prokaryotes:● Archaea● Bacteria
• Eukaryotes:● Protists● Animals● Plants
Characteristics
Prokaryotes:● No membrane-bound
organelles● Unicellular organisms● Circular DNA attached
to cell membrane● Reproduce through
Binary Fission● Cells small - usually
less that 2 µm● Most have cell wall
• Eukaryotes:●Has membrane-bound
organelles●Unicellular & Multicellular●DNA in strands in
nucleus●Reproduce through
mitosis●Cells larger than 2 µm
(micrometers)●Most have no cell wall
(except plants)
Can you?
With your group list three differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes without looking at your notes?
Draw an illustration of those three on the dry erase boards.
