Cell Structure - Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Flashcards
What are the different types of organelle in a prokaryotic organism ?
-small and simple
-0.1 to 5.0 nm in size
-unicellular
-circular DNA
-single haploid (n) chromosome
-lack membrane bound organelle
-reproduce sexually and asexually
-cell division by binary fission
What are examples of prokaryotic organisms ?
bacteria and archaea cells
What are the different types of organelle in a eukaryotic organism ?
-large and complex
-10 to 100 nm in size
-unicellular and multicellular
-nucleus is present
-linear DNA
-paired haploid (n) chromosome
-has membrane bound organelle
-mostly reproduce sexually
-cell division by mitosis
What are examples of eukaryotic organisms ?
plant and animal cells including humans
What are some similarities between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells ?
-have cell (plasma) membrane
-have cytoplasm
-have ribosomes
