AP Biology Cell Reading Assignment

Which of the following is best observed by using a compound light microscope?

A eukaryotic cell

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are physiologically different in many ways, but both represent functional, evolutionarily successful cells. A. It has been theorized that the organelles evolved from prokaryotes living symbiotically within a larger cell. Explain 3 lines of evidence that support this theory. B. Create a model (i.e. flow chart, diagram, etc.) to show the path of a protein in a eukaryotic cell from its formation to secretion from the cell.

A. TBD B.TBD

Which of the following are characteristics of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
