TYPE OF CELL Flashcards
It does not allow division of labor or
specialization.
Unicellular
Unicellular; Each cell must perform all tasks:
sensing the environment, gathering
nutrients, excreting wastes, defense,
movement and reproduction.
As each cell becomes more specialized, it
depends more on the others.
MULTICELLULAR
If a cell evolved toward having thick walls and
offering maximum protection, it must rely on
other cells of the organism for
photosynthesis,
mineral absorption and reproduction.
BASIC TYPES
OF CELL
- PROKARYOTIC
- EUKARYOTIC
are simpler than eukaryotic
Prokaryotic Cell
Prokaryotic Cell
* are simpler than eukaryotic
ones and are found only in
domains
Bacteria (bacteria
and cyanobacteria) and
Archaea (archaeans).
First organisms to be present
on our planet earth.
Prokaryotic Cell
Eukaryotic Cell
* are found IN
plants, animals, fungi
and protists
are more complex than
prokaryotic cells.
Eukaryotic Cell
have
many organelles that allow them to
be more diverse and complex, both
morphologically and physiologically
Eukaryotic Cell
PROKARYOTIC CELL
5 PROPERTY
Single-celled organism (unicellular)
Absence of nucleus
Size of a cell ranges from 1-10 microns.
Mode of nutrients: photosynthetic, feed on living
things and dead things.
Reproduce asexually: binary fission, transformation,
conjugation, transduction.
EUKARYOTIC CELL
5 PROPERTY
Multi-celled organism (multi-cellular)
Presence of true nucleus.
Size of cell ranges from 10-100 microns.
Mode of nutrients : Autotrophic and heterotrophic.
Reproduce both by sexually and asexually.
Plant cells are
eukaryotic cells
Most important distinctive
structure is the presence of the ________ outside the cell
membrane.
cell wall
