Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

Decide whether or not if each organelles is in each of these cells. 1. Bacterial Cell 2. Animal Cell 3. Plant Cell 4. All cells These are the organelles - Cell Membrane - Ribosome - Cytoplasm - Mitochondria - Nucleolus - Nucleus - DNA - Cell Wall - Prokaryotic - Eukaryotic

- Cell Membrane: 4. - Ribosome: 4. - Cytoplasm: 4. - Mitochondria: 2. and 3. - Nucleolus: 2. and 3. - Nucleus: 2. and 3. - DNA: 4. - Cell Wall: 1. and 2. - Prokaryotic: 1 - Eukaryotic: 2. and 3.

Model 2 Looking at Model 2, list at least three structural differences (other than shape) between an animal and a plant cell.

- Plant cells have a Cell Wall and Animal cells do not. - Plant cells have a Large permanent vacuole while Animal cells do not. - Plant cells don't have a Vesicle while Animal cells do/

Model 1 The three bacterial shapes in Model 1 are referred as a coccus (sphere), spirillum, and bacillus (rod). Label the diagrams in Model 1 with the correct descriptions.

- The circle is a coccus - The rod that is swerving back and forth like a snake is a bacillus - Now the flat rectangle could be a Spirillum

As a group, write a definition for a eukaryotic cell.

A multicellular or unicellular cell that is much larger than a prokaryotic cell that is more complex with a lot more organelles.

As a group, write a definition for a prokaryotic cell.

A singular cell that is very small and doesn't have a nucleus.

Model 1 One of the bacteria in Model 1 has a tail-like structure A) What is this structure called? B) What might be the purpose of this strucuture? C) Based on you answer to the previous question, what might you infer about the absence of this structure in the other two bacteria cells?

A) The tail like structure is called Flagellum B) The purpose of the tail thing is to move C) That they don't move.

Model 3 Based on the above word definitions, label the cells in Model 1 and Model 2 as prokaryotic or eukaryotic

All the cells in Model 1 are prokaryotic while the two cells in Model 2 are both eukaryotic cells.

Model 1 What is represented by the small dots found in each of the bacteria cells?

All the dots are ribosomes.

Model 2 List the structure(s) that form the boundary between the inside and the outside of each cell in Model 2

Animal Cell - There is one structure in-between the inside and the outside of the cell which is the Cell Membrane Plant Cell - There are two structures in-between the inside and the outside of the cell which is the Cell Membrane and Cell Wall.

Model 3 What differences are there between a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell?

Differences are that eukaryotic cells are bigger can be both multicellular or unicellular and a lot more complex compared to a Prokaryotic cell which is a lot smaller unicellular and a lot easier to understand.

Model 1 How is the DNA described and what does this mean?

Free floating DNA means it is freely floating

Model 3 Use the chart in Model 3 to determine the meaning of the work prokaryote.

I would determine the word would mean before the nucleus or kernel

As a group, discuss the opening analogy of an efficiency apartment and a mansion as it relates to cells. Record your final consensus of how this analogy applies to cell structure.

I would say an apartment is similar to a prokaryotic cell how everything is in the same room and how it's a lot smaller compared to a mansion that is like a eukaryotic cell because of how many organelles it has and the fancy rooms it has like the nucleus.

Model 2 Decide whether the cells in Model 1 or 2 are more complex and list at least three supporting reasons for your choice.

I would say that Model 2 would be more complex becuase of how much bigger the cells are and how many more organelles it has.

Model 1 All the internal structures are suspended (floating) in what substance?

It's filled with Cytoplasm

Model 2 What is different about the outermost boundary in a plant cell compared to an animal cell.

Plant cells most outer boundary is there cell wall. Human cells don't have a cell wall so there most outermost boundary would be the cell membrane which checks whatever comes in and out.

Model 3 By comparing Model 1 and Model 2, what structures are the same in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

They both have a barrier to get inside the cell and which protects the cell.

Model 3 What does the word eukaryote mean?

True nucleus or kernel however the actual definition is a cell that can be multicellular big and complex.

Model 2 Do both cells in model 2 have a nucleus?

Yes, both Animal and Human cells do have a nucleus.

Model 1 What is the name of the outermost layer that forms a boundary around the outside of each cell?

The outermost layer are cell walls.

Model 2 Where do you find the DNA in each cell in Model 2?

The DNA is found in the nucleus of each cell.
