Prokaryote vs Eukaryote Cells.pdf, Lecture notes of Bacteriology

Prokaryotes are bacteria. Unicellular with a cell wall. Cell wall can be stained. Why are these differences in cell wall structure so important?

Prokaryote Cell vs Eukaryote Cell

How are these alike? How are they different?

Karen Storey; Kernersville Middle School September 12, 2014 (^) Cell Diagram: Mariana Ruiz, pub domain

What does a cell look like?

  • The first person to come up with this word was Robert Hooke. In 1665 he used a very simple microscope to look at a piece of cork. Cork comes from a tree.
  • What do you think he saw?

By 1855, microscope were the

“new way/cool” technology

  • Rudolf Virchow actually saw cells reproducing!

The Cellular Level of Organization

Living things are constructed of cells.

Living things may be unicellular ormulticellular.

Cell structure is diverse but all cells share common characteristics.

Cells are small so they can exchange materials with their surroundings.

Surface area relative to the volume decreases as size of cell increases.

  • limits the size of cells

TEACHER HINT! KNOW THIS…. __________CELL THEORY_______ states:

  1. All organisms are composed of one or more cells.
  2. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in organisms.
  3. All cells come only from other cells.

Why are these differences in cell wall structure so important?

We use the color of the stain to determine what type of antibiotic to use to eliminate the disease they cause.

Gram-positive (purple) Gram-negative (red)

Prokaryotes - Cell Wall

Remember: Plants cells have cell walls. Think about their “box-like” shape. Animal cells do not! (Remember all the different shapes you saw??)

ORGANELLES

Animal and plant cells have organelles.

Organelles compartmentalize functions within the cell.

Now let’s talk about additional structures found in PLANT Cells !!

So there are really two basic types of cells

______Prokaryote : (bacteria)_________ Almost always single-celled

Reproduce by binary fission (another copy by dividing). No cell nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelles. DNAtravels openly around the cell.

_______Eukaryote : (plant or animal)_______ Most organisms that we can see, such as trees, grass, worms,flies, mice, humans, mushrooms and yeast are eukaryotes.

Can either be single-celled or multi-celled. Can reproduce in one of several ways (Ex. meiosis, mitosis). Have cell nucleus within containing its DNA. Nucleus most evident distinction between these cell types.

Plant Cell (Eukaryote)

So how are Eukaryotic (Protist, Animal, & Plant) and Prokaryotic Cells (Bacteria) alike and how are they different?

SUMMARY of North Carolina

Essential Standard7.L.1.

  • All living things are composed of cells, from just one to many millions, whose details usually are visible only through a microscope.
  • A cell is the smallest part of any living thing. There are many parts of a cell.
  • Each part of a cell completes a certain function for the cell.

Common Eukaryotic Organelles

Continued

  • Nuclear Membrane - separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm
  • Mitochondria - break down food and release energy to the cell
  • Vacuoles - are storage areas for the cell

Organelles Only Found in

Plant Cells

  • Cell Wall - provides structure to the plant cell
  • Chloroplasts - contain chlorophyll (a green pigment) used to capture sunlight and make food for the plant cell
