Honors Biology Mrs. Stewart Central Magnet School
CLE Compare the structure and function of cellular organelles in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. SPI Distinguish between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells CLE Describe the processes of cell growth and reproduction.
Differentiate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell division Distinguish DNA structures between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
Membrane bound nucleus Membrane bound organelles Larger DNA is coiled around proteins to form chromosomes NO membrane bound nucleus Nucleiod NO membrane bound organelles Smaller DNA is not coiled around proteins - circular chromosome EukaryotesProkaryotes
Asexual reproduction The cell cycle Interphase Mitosis Binary Fission EukaryotesProkaryotes
DNA is NOT coiled around proteins Circular chromosome Attached to the inner surface of the plasma membrane
Binary Fission The division of a prokaryotic cell into two identical daughter cells DNA (circular chromosome) is copied. Cell grows to twice its normal size Membrane pinches in toward the middle (like a cleavage furrow) A new cell wall forms around each membrane Eventually, the dividing prokaryote is split into two independent, identical cells

CATS Tell your fish how this process is similar to mitosis
FISH Tell your cat how this process is different from mitosis
