Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

They are Eukaryotes

Are plant cells Eukaryotes or Prokaryotes?

Genetic material. DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid.

DNA

A prokaryote is a single-celled organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane-bound organelle.

Prokaryotes

Remember this by: 'Pro' in Prokaryotes rhymes with 'no'. They don't have cell membranes.

Prokaryotes do not have cell membranes

Ribosomes are organelles responsible for making proteins in the cell.

Ribosomes

This is because the Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus to hold them.

The Prokaryotes DNA is not organized as neatly as the Eukaryotes.

True

True or False: Cells can have different numbers or types of organelles.

True

True or False: Prokaryotes do not have membrane bound organelles, such as the nucleus.

True

True or False: The nucleus is a membrane bound organelle.

What 3 things do both Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes share in Common?

Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi

What are 3 things that can cause infections?

It controls what goes in and out of the cell. It keeps everything stable.

What does the cell membrane do?

Fungi

What is the plural of Fungus?

Prokaryotes

What type of cells are bacteria?

Eukaryotes

What type of cells are fungi?

Eukaryotes

Who has the membrane bound organelles? Prokaryotes or Eukaryotes?

Antibiotics can't work on fungi because antibiotics are only effective on Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, and fungi are Eukaryotes.

Why can't antibiotics work on fungi?

Because they need more energy to be produced than most of the other cells.

Why do muscle cells need Mitochondria?

An eukaryote is an organism whose cells contain a nucleus surrounded by a membrane and whose DNA is bound together by proteins into chromosomes.

Eukaryotes

Remember this by: 'Eu' in Eukaryotes rhymes with 'do'. They 'do' have cell membranes.

Eukaryotes have cell membranes

Any of a group of unicellular or multicellular organisms feeding on organic matter.

Fungi

Mitochondria is an organelle that produces energy for the cell.

Mitochondria

The nucleus is like the brain of the cell, it controls a lot of the cell's functions, including its genetic material, or DNA.

Nucleus

A structure or part that is enclosed within its own membrane inside a cell and has a particular function. Basically, 'organs' for the cell, like we have organs for our body.
