Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
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
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?
They are Eukaryotes
Are plant cells Eukaryotes or Prokaryotes?
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
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.
