Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
Essential Question – Bell Ringer
If two different cells each contain DNA, how
can one cell be classified as prokaryotic
and the other eukaryotic?
In prokaryotic cells, the DNA floats freely
inside the cell, whereas in eukaryotic cells,
the DNA is bound by a membrane

Characteristics of
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
Prokaryotic Cells
Some organisms of this cell
type produce endospores
during extreme conditions.
Reproduce only asexually,
usually by fission or budding.
Exist only as a single-celled
organism, some move around
using flagellum.
Found in organisms that
belong to the kingdoms
Archeabacteria and
Eubacteria.
DNA floats freely around.
Both Cells
Eukaryotic Cells
Ribosomes found
within the cells
Cells’ organelles are
surrounded by a membrane.
DNA found inside
the cell.
Found in organisms that
belong to the domain
Eukaryata.
Ten times larger than the
other cell type.
Exhibit higher levels of
division of labor.
Some organisms of the cell
type are unicellular, others
are munlticellular.
Cell DNA found within a
membrane covered nucleus.
I need to remember……..
• Prokaryotic cells do not have a true nucleus.
• In eukaryotic cells, the DNA is surrounded by a
membrane.
• Both types of cells have ribosomes.
• Some eukaryotic cells and all prokaryotic cells
are surrounded by a cell wall.
• Eukaryotic cells have organelles surrounded by
membranes.
• Prokaryotic cells can reproduce only asexually,
by fission or budding.
• Eukaryotic cells reproduce asexually and
sexually.
