2nd qtr: Prokaryotic And Eukaryotic Cells Flashcards
Unicellular organisms. absence of a “true nucleus”. The genetic material of this cell is: the nucleoid, suspended in the cytoplasm. Bacteria is the best-known prokaryotic cell.
Prokaryotic Cell
They divide asexually by binary fission. The sexual mode of reproduction involves conjugation.
Prokaryotic Cell
Higher forms of organisms such as plants, animals, fungi, and protists, possess a complex type of cell. Has genetic material (DNA) encased inside a distinct nucleus, and its organelles are neatly arranged in compartments surrounded by membranes.
Eukaryotic Cells
The cells divide by a process called mitosis.
Eukaryotic Cells
The cell has mitochondria.
Eukaryotic Cells
Found in simple organisms such as bacteria, blue-green algae, and archaeans.
Prokaryotic Cells
The cell wall is made up of Carbohydrates and amino acids.
Prokaryotic Cells
Lacks a nuclear membrane.
Prokaryotic Cells
Mitochondria, Golgi bodies, chloroplast, and lysosomes are absent.
Prokaryotic Cells
Has no organelles.
Prokaryotic Cells
Possesses a region, called the nucleoid region, where it stores hereditary information (DNA).
Prokaryotic Cells
The Nucleus contains a single, linear DNA, which carries all the genetic information.
Eukaryotic Cells
A cell wall is the outermost layer of this type of cell.
Eukaryotic Cells
Contains a cytoskeletal structure.
Eukaryotic Cells
Has the nucleus enclosed within the Nuclear Membrane.
Eukaryotic Cells.
