1. 3C Types of Cells
Section 3C

2. Objectives
I will be able to differentiate between eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells.
I will be able to give examples of eukaryotic organisms and prokaryotic organisms.

3. Cell Types
With more advanced microscopes, scientists discovered that all cells can be grouped into one of two major categories:
prokaryotic cells
eukaryotic cells

4. Cell Types - Prokaryotes
Most prokaryotic cells are unicellular organisms called prokaryotes.

5. Cell Types - Prokaryotes
The genetic material in a prokaryotic cell is not surrounded by a membrane.

6. Cell Types – Prokaryotic Cells
Bacteria cells
No nuclear membrane
Contain only organelles that are not surrounded by a membrane (ribosomes)

7. Cell Types - Eukaryotes
Plants, animals, fungi, and protists are all made of eukaryotic cells
and are called eukaryotes.
In eukaryotic cells, the genetic material is surrounded by a membrane.

8. Cell Types - Eukaryotes
Every eukaryotic cell has membrane-surrounded organelles, which have specialized functions and enable the cell to carry out different functions at the same time.

9. Cell Types - Eukaryotes
The nucleus is the part of a eukaryotic cell that directs cell activities and contains genetic information stored in DNA.

10. Diversity Among Eukaryotes
Eukaryotic cells have much variety
Cilia and flagella
Chloroplasts
Vacuoles
Cell walls

11. Irreducible Complexity
The parts of a cell are so dependent on one another that if just one part does not work right, the entire cell would most likely die.

12. Irreducible Complexity
The cell cannot be reduced to something less complex and still function properly.
Irreducible complexity points to a Designer of the cell and of the universe.
