Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
Prokaryotic
• Small Cells
• Always unicellular
• No nucleus
• DNA is cirrcular,
without proteins
• Ribosomes are small
• No cytoskeleton
• Cell division is by binary
fission
• Huge variety of
metabolic pathways
• Reproduction is always
asexual

Larger cells
Often multicellular
Has a nucleus
Ribosomes are larger
Always has a
cytoskeleton
• Reproduction is
asexual or sexual
• Common metabolic
pathways
• Cell division is by
mitosis or meiosis
ORGANELLE
• Organelles-means little organs.
• Basically this means that organelles have specific roles to
play in how cells work just like organs help the body to
function properly as a whole.
Analogy:
ORGANELLES are like the
workers of the factory

l o Flagella are long, thread-like single cells with the ability
• Bacteria which have flagella are either rod or spiral-shaped
l and are known as bacilli. Which is found in the eukaryotic
cells.

-Cilia is an organelle found in the eukaryotic cells. There are two
a
types of cilia: motle cilia and non-motle cilia.
to
move.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
• A endoplasmic reticulum is an eukaryotic organelle
that forms an interconnected network of
tubules(small tubes), vesicles(bubble of liquid), and
cisternae(a flattened membrane disk) within cells.
• its funtions:
o Stores, separates, and serves as cell's
transport system
o manufactures and packs proteins
Analogy: The
endoplasmic reticulums
are the workers of a
factory who make and
pack the product.
Cytoskeleton
• A cyroskeleton (also known as CSK) is a cellular skeleton
contained within the cytoplasm and is made out of
protein. The cytoskeleton is present in all cells.
Cytoskeleton is found in plant and animal cells.
• Its functions:
o Supports cell and provides shape
o Aids movement of materials in and out of cells
Analogy: Cytoskeleton is like the
beams in the walls of the factory,
giving it support and structure.
Chromatin
• Chromatin is the combination of DNA and protein that makes
up chromosomes(organized structure of DNA).It is found
inside the nuclei of eukaryotic cells in plant and animal cells.
• Its functions:
o compacts the long DNA strands
two meters of DNA is compressed in to a 10 micrometer
diameter
o packs genetic data
Analogy: Chromatin are
like manuals in a factory
to teach workers how to
make the product.
Cell Membrane
• A cell membrane is a thin membrane (a double layer of lipids)
enclosing the cytoplasm of a cell. Proteins in the membrane
control passage of ions (like sodium, potassium, or calcium) in
and out of the cell. Can be found in plant and animal cells.
• Its functions are:
o Gives shape to the cell
o Attaches cell to nonliving material outside of the cell so
that cell can group together to form tissue
o Transports material needed for the functioning of the cell
organelles
o Controls what goes in and out of the cell.
Analogy:
Cell mebrane is the
insulation of the factory
keeping the cold out the
warmth in.
Plant Cell
Animal Cell
Nucleolus
• A non-membrane bound structure composed of proteins and
nucleic acids found within the nucleus. Found in plant and
animal sounds.
• Its function:
o Production of subunits which together form the ribosomes.
Plant Cell
Animal Cell
Nucleus
• The nucleus is a membrane bound structure that
contains the cell's hereditary information and controls
the cell's growth and reproduction. Found usually in the
center of plant and animal cells.
• Its function:
o Regulates all cell activity
o Involved in cell division
o Controls the transfer and replication of hereditary
molecules
o Controls cell growth
Plant cell
Animal cell
Ribosomes
• An organelle in the cytoplasm of a living cell; they
attach to mRNA and move down it one codon at a time
and then stop until tRNA brings the required amino acid.
Ribosomes are found near the endoplasmic reticulum.
• Its function:
o Assemble amino acids to form specific proteins
Analogy:
Ribosomes are the
workers on the
assembly line,
putting together
specific peices.
Vacuole
Animal Cell
Structure -
• Vacuoles are essentially enclosed
compartments which are filled with water containing inorganic
and organic molecules. The Vacuoles belong to both cells.
• The functions are:
1. Isolating materials that might be harmful or a threat to the
cell
2. Containing waste products
Analogy: A garbage can. The garbage can holds all the waste
and disposal waste.
-Plant Cells Structure
Mitochondria
• Mitochondria- is the energy factories of
Animal cell structure
the cells. The ATP is produced in the
mitochondria using energy stored in the food. All living cells
have montochondria.
• The functions are:
o to produce energy in the main form adenosine
triphospate(ATP) .
o This main function helps perform the specific work
necessary for cell survival and function.
o Analogy: It is the powerhouse. It controls all the electricity
of the factory.
Plant cell structure -
Lysosome
• Lysosome are in white blood cells that eat bacteria,
lysosome contents are carefullreleased into the vacuole
around the bacteria and serve to kill and digest those bacteria.
o
o
Lysosomes are rarely located in the plant cells and mostly in
animal cells.
Functions are digesting foreign bacteria (or other forms of
waste) that invade a cell and helping repair damage to the
plasma membrane by serving as a membrane patch, sealing the
wound.
Analogy- Lysosomes are the factory's garbage disposal
system.
Golgi Apparatus
The golgi apparatus is an organelle found in most
eukaryotic cells, plant cells, and animal cells.
o The golgi apparatus stores and later transports the
proteins manufactured in the endoplasmic reticulum.
The primary fuction of the golgi apparatus is to
process the packages such as, proteins and lipids.
o
• Analogy~Golgi apparatus is
the package workers that
packs all the products for the
company.
Plant cells have
two organelles that
animals cells do
not.
CELL WALL
• The cell wall is tough and fexible but sometimes rigid layers
that surrounds some types cells.
• located outside the membrane
• Preventing over expansion when water entres the cell
Analogy:
Cell wall is the wall of the factory
keeping everything inside safe.
CHLOROPLAST
• CHLOROPLASTS are organells found in plant cells and
other eukaryotic organisms that conduct photosynthesis.
They are the central site of the photosynthesis process in
plants.
• Its functions:
o head quarters where photosynthesis takes place.
Analogy- Chloroplast are like
the lunch ladies. Someone
within the factory is there to
feed the workers. Chloroplast
is within the cell to feed,
provide energyor the other
organelles.
