Transcript Prokaryote vs. Eukaryote

Prokaryote vs. Eukaryote
Karyote
• “kernel”
• When scientists first
saw cells under a
Microscope they
noticed that some
cells had a dark
region in the center
while others did not.
• The “Kernel”= the
Nucleus
Prokaryote
• No Nucleus
• No membrane bound
organelles
• DNA nucleiod (Strand of DNA)
• Cytoplasm (Fluid that fills the
cell)
• Ribosomes (make proteins)
• Cell Membrane
• Cell Wall
• May have Flagella (Tail like
structure for movement)
• May have Pili (Hair like sticky
structures for sticking to a
surface.)
Eukaryote
Eu = True
• “True” Nucleus
• DNA is stored as
Chromosomes (X,Y)
• Membrane bound
Organelles (Smallest
unit inside a cell that
functions to complete
a task) Ex.
Mitochondria,
Chloroplast
• Cytoplasm
• Cell membrane
• May have cell wall
• May have Flagella or
cillia
