PROKARYOTE VS
EUKARYOTE
Dr. Edelberg
TWO STRUCTURAL TYPES
OF CELLS ARE RECOGNIZED
COMPARING THE TWO CELL
TYPES
• Look at the pictures on the previous slide
and list all the features they have in
common
CONTRASTING THE TWO
CELL TYPES
• Look at the pictures on slide 2 and
describe the features that are different
between the two cells.
Prokaryotic Cell
• Before studying this
type of cell, observe it
carefully
• Try to describe each
of the seven
structures numbered
in this prokaryotic cell
Prokaryotic Cell
• Here is a labeled
diagram
• Compare this to the
previous picture of a
prokaryotic cell
• Label the previous
prokaryotic cell
Prokaryotic Cell
• Now that you identified structures in a
prokaryotic cell, what are their functions.
• Use the following link
• Prokaryotic cell
• Describe the following structures
flagella
cell wall
pili
plasma membrane
nucleoid
ribosomes
capsule
DNA
Eukaryotic Cell
• Before studying this
type of cell, observe it
carefully
• Try to describe a,b, d,
f, g, k, l, n, & o
structures found in
this eukaryotic cell
Eukaryotic cell
• Here is a labeled
diagram
• Compare this to the
previous picture of a
eukaryotic cell
• Label the previous
eukaryotic cell?
Eukaryote vs. Prokaryote
• Using the links below, Compare and contrast the two cell
types .
• Prokaryote Vs Eukaryote I
• Prokaryote vs. Eukaryote II
• Add your new answers to your original compare and
contrast answers and change any wrong answers.
PROKARYOTE VS
EUKARYOTE
• Go to Honors Biology website, go to
activities, go to Prokaryote Vs. Eukaryote
flash cards and play. Add to your compare
and contrast list.
• Whole class Discussion
• Draw a Venn diagram
