Kinds of Cells

There are two main types

(and also viruses)
Prokaryotic Cells
pro before
karyon nut or kernal (refers to
the nucleus)

Cells without a nucleus are
prokaryotes
Characteristics
Small (from 0.2 2 micrometers in diameter)
No nuclei
No membrane-bound organelles inside
Only one chromosome and it is ring-shaped
Three basic shapes (rods, coils, spheres)
Some have flagella and can move. Some do
not have flagella and cannot move.
Single-celled creatures
A basic drawing
Two kingdoms of prokaryotes
Euacteria

What we usually think
of when we think of
microbes.


Archaea

The most ancient
forms of life.
Live today in harsh
environements (deep
oceans, hot springs,
in poisonous gases
Eukaryotic Cells
eu true
karyon refers to nucleus

Cells with a nucleus are
eukaryotes
Characteristics
Bigger than prokaryotes (10 100 micrometers)
All plants, animals and fungal cells are
eukaryotic.
Have nuclei
Have many membrane-bound organelles inside.
More than one chromosome and not ring-
shaped
Wide variety of shapes
Single and multicellular forms
Some can move and some cannot.
Viruses not officially cells
Super tiny 30 -120
nanometers in diameter
No nuclei
No cell membrane
No organelles
Cannot move on its own
Cannot reproduce on its own
Just a protein layer
surrounding genetic material
DNA or RNA
Reproduction
Viruses must inject their DNA into
a host cell. The DNA takes over
the cells functioning and force it
to make many exact copies of
the virus. The cell eventually
pops when it is too full of newly
made viruses.
They must infect a host to
reproduce.
What are the similarities?
Think-Pair-Share
After you have seen the video and taken
notes.
With a partner, share similarities between
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Similarities
DNA for genetic material
Cytoplasm is the inside of the cell
A membrane
Ribosomes to make proteins
Have a cell wall (sort of like plants but
made of different materials)
Flagella
