Gen Bio Act 1 Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

This document provides information about prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It includes figures of an animal cell (eukaryotic) and bacterial cell (prokaryotic). The document explains that plant and animal cells are eukaryotic, while bacteria are prokaryotic. Students are instructed to complete two activities: 1) compare prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells using a Venn diagram, noting their differences and similarities, and 2) identify structures in an animated cell image as either prokaryotic, eukaryotic, or both.

General Biology 1

Figure 1. Animal Cell Figure 2. Bacterial cell

Plant cell and animal cell (Figure 1) are eukaryotic cells while bacteria (Figure
2) which is a single-celled organism is classified as prokaryotic cell. The above
images contain the generalized structure of a typical eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell.
Can you distinguish their differences and similarities? Try to differentiate the two
cell types by doing the next activity.

Activity 1: Comparing Cells: Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cell


Directions: Compare the structures of Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell by filling up
the graphic organizer (Venn Diagram) below. Use the above images (figure 1 and 2)
as your reference. You may use a separate sheet of paper. (15 pts)

Prokaryotic Cell Eukaryotic Cell only


only
 Lack Organelles  Contain Organelles
Similarities
 Lack Nucleus  Contain nucleus
 Both have DNA
 Single-celled  Multicellular or
 Have Cytoplasm
 Ancient/ Oldest Cell single-celled
 Have ribosomes
 Simple and small  Larger and more
 Have a Plasma
 Single circular complex
membrane
chromosome  Evolved from
 Has Flagellum prokaryotes
 Cell wall  Multiple linear
chromosomes
 Has lysosomes
Activity 2: See Me, Recognize Me! (10 pts)

Directions: below is an animated sample image of prokaryotic and eukaryotic


cells. Write Prokaryote for prokaryotic cell feature, write Eukaryote for a
eukaryotic cell feature and write Both if the structure can be found in both
prokaryotes and eukaryotes in a separate sheet of paper.

1. With true nucleus Eukaryote
2. Membrane-bound organelles Eukaryote
3. For unicellular organism Both
4. Have polysaccharide capsule Prokaryote
5. Have the DNA and ribosomes Both
6. Have a gel-like cytoplasm Both
7. Smaller in terms of size Prokaryote
