They have no internal membranes, no nuclear membrane, no endoplasmic reticulum, no mitochondria and no Golgi body. They do however have a cell wall but it is not made of cellulose. Protoctists are mostly small eukaryotic organisms, with membrane bound organelles and a nucleus, with a nuclear membrane. In this kingdom organisms such as algae, water moulds, slime moulds and protozoa are found. Fungi are also eukaryotic.
The Study of Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes Charles Lambert ITT Technical Institute Prokaryotes are organisms without a cell nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelles. Most are unicellular, but some prokaryotes are multi-cellular. Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells are organized into complex structures by internal membranes and a cytoskeleton. The most characteristic membrane bound structure is the nucleus. Animals, plants, fungi, and protists are eukaryotes.
A large difference is the cell wall, the cell wall is found in the plant cell but not the animal cell. The cell wall protects the plant cell from the dangers around it. The cell wall also changes the shape of the plant cell, instead of being a sphere like the animal cell it is a box. Another difference between the two cells is that the chloroplast are only present in plant cells. The chloroplast’s purpose is to perform photosynthesis in the plant cell.
7. A distinctive feature of eukaryotes is the organization of their chromosomal DNA which is tightly packaged with proteins into a membrane-bound structure called a _______. 8. The delivery system of eukaryotic cells called the ______ complex can collect, package, modify, and transport molecules. 9.
Prokaryotic cells are found in organisms such as bacteria, most commonly eubacteria and archae bacteria. Eukaryotic cells are therefore are found in all other living organisms, the name implying that there is a proper nucleus present. As there is no nucleus present in prokaryotic cells the DNA helix is a single coiled chromosome that is unsupported and so can float freely around the cell, however in a eukaryotic cell the DNA helix is made up of linear chromosomes supported by the histone protein. In Eukaryotic cells there is also a distinct nuclear membrane Prokaryotic cells are smaller than Eukaryotic cells, according to “Pharmaceutical Microbiology†the majority of bacteria fall within the general dimensions of 0.75 to 4mm compared to the size of common eukaryotic cells which can be up to 40 times larger than Prokaryotic cells and measure between 50 and 150mm. Prokaryotic cells and Eukaryotic cells both can contain a cell wall however in prokaryotic cells the cell wall is peptidoglycan (a mixture of sugar and protein) if the organism is a eubacteria, or pseudomurein if the organism is a archae bacteria whereas in eukarotic cells a cell wall is only present if the organism is a plant or a fungi and the cell wall is constructed of cellulose in plants or chitin if the organism is a fungi.
Study Guide for BIOS 1030 Chapter 1: 1. Describe two major differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cell - no nucleus- no membrane-bound organelles- first cell type on the planet bacteria have prokaryotic cells- usually a cell wall Eukaryotic Cells - Has a nucleus that houses DNA, Has many membrane-bound organelles (notice the numerous structures in the cell)- Animals, plants and fungi are some of the organisms that have this cell type 2. Which type of cell was the first cell on the planet? prokaryote 3.
Onion, Cheek, and Elodea cells are all eukaryotic. Onion and Elodea cells are plant cells. Cheek cells are animal cells. They all have nuclei and cell membranes. 2.
P1. Structure of a typical cell. In this task I will outline and describe what can be found inside a typical cell, as it is seen under an electron microscope. The main parts of the cell are: nucleus, cytoplasm, plasma cell membrane, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough), Golgi apparatus and lysosomes. I will also include a labelled diagram of a typical cell.
1. Are Bacteria prokaryotic or eukaryotic? Prokaryotic because they lack a nucleus/nuclear membrane and membrane-bound organelle. 2. Describe the three common shapes of bacteria.
The green pigment, Chloroplasts are present in large number in most of the plant cells, which contains loads of chlorophyll, but never appears in any animal cells. Moreover, plant cells normally have a large, single, central vacuole filled with cell sap, while small and scattered vacuoles are present in animal cells if they have any. Besides, starch grains are used for storage in plant cells, while glycogen granules are used for storage in animal cells. Nevertheless, the chlorophyll in chloroplasts in plant cells allows absorption of sunlight and the process of photosynthesis takes place in plant cells. They absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, while only respiration is taken place in animal
