Transcript Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Power Point

Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

Catalyst (REMEMBER: MR. GORE!)
 Are green, growing leaves alive?
Why/why not?
 Are computers alive? Why/why not?
 Which phone is older?
Explain how you know.
DO NOW.
To be alive, you must have ALL:
Metabolism
Reproduction
Growth
Organization
Response
Evolution
Objectives

By the end of today, I can…
Compare
prokaryotic and eukaryotic
cells
Describe the role of DNA, the cell
membrane, cytoplasm, and the
nucleus in the cell
Why do we care about cells?
You are alive
 Parts of you are alive!
 Parts of those parts are alive!
 Where does it end?
 The cell!

 The
cell is the smallest form of life
 ALL living organisms are made of cells
Human Red Blood Cells
White Blood Cell Attacking Bacteria
Human Sperm Cell
Human Egg Cell
What makes them different?

Key Point #1: The function of a cell
(what it does) is determined by its
structure (what it is made of)
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the
genetic code that instructs the cell
how to run (it’s what makes you
“you”)
Organelle: Part of a cell
Cell membrane
The cell membrane
is a thin, flexible
barrier around the
cell
 It controls what goes
in and out of the cell
 All cells have this

Cytoplasm
The cytoplasm is
everything inside of
the cell membrane
 The cytoplasm
contains all the cell
organelles
 All cells have this

Nucleus

Nucleus holds DNA
and controls the
cell’s activities
 The
cell’s own minibrain

The nucleus has its
own special
membrane
So we have some organelles…



To help you remember the function of each, create
an analogy in your notes.
Compare each cell organelle to a part of IMCS.
The (cell organelle) is like a (make a comparison)
because it ______________________________.
What makes them different?

Key Point #2: Prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells have different
structures
Eukaryotic cells

Eukaryotic cells have a
nucleus
 Membrane-bound
organelles
 All multi-celled
organisms are
eukaryotes
 So all PLANTS and
ANIMALS are
eukaryotes
 Can be single-celled
Prokaryotic cells

DNA is
floating in the
cytoplasm
Always
single-celled
organisms

Eukaryotic?
Yes
Prokaryotic?
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes, inside of
nucleus
Yes
No
Yes, floating
in cytoplasm
Study Time
Take 5 minutes to study your note
cards.
 If you realize that you don’t understand
what you wrote down…

Take
notes in your own words!
Ask your group members
Raise your hand and ask me for help
“Throw your hands in the aaaaair”
(GP)

First round
Discuss

in groups
Second round
Try
on your own
ROUND
ONE
(Groups)
Where all cell
organelles are
found
Controls everything
that happens in the
cell.
Prokaryote or Eukaryote?
Found on the edge of
the cell.
Prokaryote or Eukaryote?
Everything inside of
the cell membrane.
This cell is singlecelled, its traits are
controlled by DNA,
and has a nucleus
ROUND
TWO
(Individual)
Missing in
prokaryotes.
All plants and
animals are this
type of cell
ALL CELLS have these
TWO things. (Hold
up both cards.)
Decides what gets to
go into the cell, and
what has to leave.
In eukaryotes, DNA is
found here.
Prokaryote or Eukaryote?
A Bloopie is a single-celled
organism, has a flagellum,
and membrane-bound
organelles. What type of
cell does it have?
Which of the following is true?
1.
2.
3.
4.
What enters/leaves the cell is controlled by “A”
The presence of “B” makes this a eukaryotic cell
The presence of “B” makes this a prokaryotic cell
“C” is found in ALL cells B
C
A

With the person next to you, use the flash
cards to quiz him/her
 Be difficult!

 Ask
anything we have learned today
 Don’t take an answer unless it is perfect
 What we have learned today is fundamental to
everything else we will learn about the cell… so
get it right!!!
