Cell Types and Structures (prokaryotic & eukaryotic) Flashcards
Prokaryotes include
bacteria and archaea
Photosynthetic prokaryotes perform
photsynthesis
Prokaryotic cells consist of a
single membrane, with all reactions occurring within the cytoplasm
Prokaryotic cells have cell walls, with
many having polysaccharide capsules
Prokaryotic cells are small in size, allowing for
quick diffusion of ions and organic molecules
Wastes produced
within a prokaryotic cell can quickly diffuse out
Eukaryotes have
true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
Eukaryotic cells are covered with
a plasma membrane
Eukaryotic cells have a well-defined
nucleus surrounded by a nuclear membrane
Eukaryotic cells have ____________ inside the nucleus
chromosomes
Eukaryotic cells maintain
homeostasis and eliminate waste
Eukaryotic cells have a larger size compared to
prokaryotic cells
