Pre Lab Discussion: Cells are the basic units of structure and function of all living things. There are two major divisions into which all cells fall – prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells are cells that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Bacteria and related microorganisms are prokaryotes. Eukaryotic cells are cells that contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Organisms such as animals, plants, fungi, and protists are all eukaryotes. In this investigation, you will observe several prepared slides to examine he differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. You will also use these differences to classify an unknown specimen. Problem What are the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? Materials ( per group) Microscope Lens paper Prepared slides of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells Safety Always handle the microscope with extreme care. You are responsible for its proper care and use. Use caution when handling glass slides as they can break easily and cut you. Note all safety alert symbols next to the steps in the procedure and review the meaning of each symbol Procedure
