Learn about the fundamental differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, their organelles, and functions. Explore the basics of cell biology in an easy-to-understand format.
E N D
Cell Theory • The cell is the basic unit of life • All organisms are composed of one or more cells. • All cells come from pre-existing cells.
What does a cell look like? Draw and label what you can remember about a cell. There are no wrong or right answers
Today’s Lesson Focuses On: • Prokaryotic Cells • Eukaryotic Cells • The differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells • Organelles and their functions
Prokaryotic Cells: • Lack a nucleus • Cell’s DNA floats in the middle of the cell. • Do not have organelles • They do have ribosomes. • Are also known as bacteria.
Eukaryotic Cells: • 10 time larger than prokaryotic cells • Include: plant, animal, fungi, and protists • Have a nucleus and many other membrane-covered organelles • DNA is stored in the nucleus of the cell • The DNA molecules are linear • All eukaryotic cells have a cell membrane • Some have a cell wall
Prokaryotic Cells Eukaryotic Cells Comparison of The Two Types of Cells
Prokaryotic Cells No nucleus No membrane-covered organelles DNA floats around (circular) Bacteria Eukaryotic Cells Nucleus Membrane-covered organelles DNA in nucleus (linear) All other cells ( plant, animal, fungi, protists) Comparison of The Two Types of Cells
Eukaryotic Cells What is an organelle? An organelle is a structure within a cell, sometimes surrounded by a cell membrane. They are structures that allow the cell to live, grow, and reproduce.
Organelle’s and Their Functions Nucleus • Contains the cell’s DNA and is the control center of the cell
Organelle’s and Their Functions Chloroplasts • Make food using energy from the sunlight
Organelle’s and Their Functions Golgi Bodies • Processes and transports materials out of the cell
Organelle’s and Their Functions Vacuole • Stores water and other material
Organelle’s and Their Functions Lysosomes • Digestive system for cell
Organelle’s and Their Functions Mitochondria • Break down food molecules to make ATP (energy)
Organelle’s and Their Functions Endoplasmic Reticulum • Breaks down lipids, drugs and other substances, packages up proteins for release from the cell
Organelle’s and Their Functions Ribosomes The site where amino acids are hooked together to make proteins
Cell Wall • Only found in plant cells and bacteria (prokaryotic cells). • They are tough, outer coverings that protect the cell and give it shape
Cell Membrane • Protective layer around all cells. • It allows things to come in and out of the cell. • ( Like a flood gate) • Made of a phospholipidbilayer
