Presentation Transcript

  1. Prokaryotes, Eukaryotes and Viruses Are they all living?

  2. Living Cells • All living organisms are made up of two basic types of cells • Prokaryotic cells are bacterial cells • Eukaryotic cells are plant and animal cells

  3. The Cell Theory • All living organisms are made of cells • All cells come from pre-existing cells • Cells are the basic unit of life

  4. Prokaryotes Bacterial cells

  5. A bacterium: • contains 0.001 times less DNA than Eukaryotes • is surrounded by a membrane and cell wall • lacks membrane-bound organelles

  6. Cyanobacteria - “blue-green algae” are bacteria that contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis

  7. Eukaryotes Plant and animal cells

  8. Plasma membrane • Cell wall in plant cells only • Cytoplasm (semifluid) • Cytoskeleton (suspend organelles and give shape) cyto=cell • Contains membrane bound organelles

  9. Viruses • Are they a type of cell? • No! Viruses are just genetic information surrounded by a protein coat

  10. Bacteriophage – a virus that infects bacteria

  11. Viruses can’t reproduce on their own • They need a host cell to “infect”

  12. PLANT CELL VIRUS ANIMAL CELL BACTERIAL CELL
