Prokaryote vs. Eukaryote
Karyote “kernel” When scientists first saw cells under a Microscope they noticed that some cells had a dark region in the center while others did not. The “Kernel”= the Nucleus
Prokaryote No Nucleus No membrane bound organelles DNA nucleiod (Strand of DNA) Cytoplasm (Fluid that fills the cell) Ribosomes (make proteins) Cell Membrane Cell Wall May have Flagella (Tail like structure for movement) May have Pili (Hair like sticky structures for sticking to a surface.) Prokaryote
Eukaryote Eu = True “True” Nucleus DNA is stored as Chromosomes (X,Y) Membrane bound Organelles (Smallest unit inside a cell that functions to complete a task) Ex. Mitochondria, Chloroplast Cytoplasm Cell membrane May have cell wall May have Flagella or cillia Eukaryote Eu = True
