Assignment #1
Classification & Cell Structure/Function

2. PROKARYOTES Prokaryotes are simple, single celled organisms,
such as yeast and bacteria.
Prokaryotic cells do not have
a nucleus; the DNA is free floating
in the cytoplasm. Prokaryotes
do not have any membrane
bound organelles.

3. EUKARYOTES Eukaryotes can be single-celled or multi-celled organisms,
such as protists, fungi, plants
and animals.
Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus
and membrane bound organelles.
Animal Cell
Plant Cell
