CELLS COME IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES!

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF CELLS:

Prokaryotic Cellsand

Eukaryotic Cells

Prokaryotes

Bacteria

Eukaryotes

Animal Plant

THESE ARE TWO DISTINCT TYPES OF CELLS WITH STRUCTURAL DIFFERENCES.

PROKARYOTE CELLA single celled organism that

does not have a nucleus.

TRAITS OF PROKARYOTES:

They do not have a nucleus, and their genetic material is not stored in the nucleus.

They have some organelles, but not many.

They are small ,size ranging from 1 to 10 µm.

All bacteria and blue- green algae

They have a rigid cell wall containing polysaccharide murein

Flagella if present lack microtubules.

EUKARYOTE CELLA more complex

cell with a nucleus and many

organelles.

TRAITS OF EUKARYOTES:

• They all have a distinct nucleus where the genetic material of the cell is stored.

• They have many organelles that work together to help the

cell function. • They are large usually between 10 and 100 µm.

• Cell wall is found in plants and fungi .• Flagella have microtubules• Examples : plants , animals,fungi and protoctists

What do you think is the main

difference between a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic

cell?

The nucleus!Prokaryotic cells do not

have a nucleus and eukaryotic cells do have a nucleus. This al lows eukaryotic cells to make multi -cellular organisms and perform more complex functions.
