Cell Types: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
2
Characteristics of Living Things
Living things respond to their environment Living things need energy Living things grow Living things reproduce Living things must get rid of waste Living things are made of cells Take in nutrients See page 10 (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

Cell Theory The cell is the basic unit of life. All organisms are composed of one or more cells. All cells come from other living cells. See pages 31-32 (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007
4
Cells can be classified into two main groups
Video Amoeba Sisters Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
5
Prokaryotic Cells Are cells without a nucleus
Simpler than eukaryotic cells Have few internal structures Internal structure are not surround by membranes Unicellular organisms all bacteria are prokaryotes Example E. coli
6
Eukaryotic Cells Have a nucleus, which contains genetic material
Have organelles (internal structures which carry out cell processes) surrounded by membranes Larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells Unicellular or multicellular organisms Example: any cell from a plant, animal Un
7
Examples of Eukaryotic Cell
Unicelluar: Amoeba Paramecium Multicellular: Any cell from a plant or animal
8
Prokaryotes are much smaller than Eukaryotes
9
Comparison of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
Characteristic Prokaryotic Cells Eukaryotic Cell Genetic material contained in nucleus, surrounded by a membrane No Yes Organelles surrounded by membranes Size and Complexity Smaller, less complex About 10x as large and more complex Can carry out all processes needed to stay alive Example Bacterium Liver cell of an animal
11
Bacteria and Viruses

Difference between Bacteria and Virus

Bacteria Bacteria are prokaryotic cells Bacteria are unicellular micro-organisms Some bacteria are harmful and cause diseases such as: tuberculosis and strep throat. Some bacteria are helpful - used to make food such as: cheese and yogurt, some have digestive enzymes that help digest food in our intestines. Bacteria are very small (microscopic) Can vary from 1nm-20nm in length See pages (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007 Take the Section 1.2 Quiz
14
Bacteria are very small
Average range is 1um – 20 nm in length mm = millimeter 1/1000 of a meter um = micrometer 1/ of a meter Nm = nanometer 1/ of a meter So 1 um is 1/1000 of a millimeter
15
Bacteria Bacteria are often grouped by the shape of their cells.
16
Viruses Viruses are tiny non-living particles capable of producing only when they are inside a host cell. Viruses do not contain any cell organelles but do contain genetic material (DNA or RNA) Viruses can reproduce by using a host cell. Examples: HIV, chicken pox, and influenza
17
Virus Structure
18
Virus Life Cycle The virus attaches to a specific host cell.
The virus injects its DNA into host cell. The viruses DNA causes host cell to make new viral DNA and protein. New viruses are created inside host cell Host cell bursts open and the new viruses are release to infect other host cells.
