Cells are the basic functional units of all organisms. Cells are the smallest unit of life and are often called the "building blocks of life". The distinction between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is considered to be the most important variation among groups of organisms. Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles‚ such as the nucleus‚ while prokaryotic cells do not. The differences in cellular structure of prokaryotes and eukaryotes include the presence of mitochondria and chloroplasts‚ the

Prokaryotic Cell Structure Bacterial Cell Structure Mariana Ruiz Villarreal/Wikimedia Commons Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that are the earliest and most primitive forms of life on earth. As organized in the Three Domain System‚ prokaryotes include bacteria and archaeans. Prokaryotes are able to live and thrive in various types of environments including extreme habitats such as hydrothermal vents‚ hot springs‚ swamps‚ wetlands‚ and the guts of animals.

1. The advantages of using an electron microscope is that it has a greater magnification‚ so you can see more detail about the organism. It would be preferable to use a light microscope when you want to see the cell in the act of moving or dividing. 2. Prokaryotic cells don’t have organelles like eukaryotic cells do. Eukaryotic cells contain its DNA within its nucleus‚ while prokaryotic cells keep it within the nucleoid. Prokaryotic cells are also more minute than the eukaryotic cells. Also although

DETAILED DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EUKARYOTIC AND PROKARYOTIC CELLS Cells are divided into two categories namely the Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. These two have varying differences between them. Speaking in simple cell biology words‚ prokaryotes are primitive‚ simple organisms that lack membranous cell organelles. The opposite of this are eukaryotes‚ which are advanced and complex organisms having membrane bound cell organelles. Seemingly simple in structure and markedly different from eukaryote and

Cell Membrane Structure Phospholipids are arranged in to layers‚ called the bilayer. They only have 2 fatty acids‚ this is because the third fatty acid is replaced by a negatively charged phosphate group. The phosphate heads are polar‚ in other words attracted to water‚ therefore they are hydrophilic. The lipid tails are non-popular as they’re not attracted to water and therefore known as hydrophobic. When phospholipids are added to the water‚ they rearrange themselves so that the hydrophilic heads

Experiment 1 1. For each structure identified‚ do you think its location affects its ability to function? Why or why not? (Hint: those buried deep in the cell probably do different things than those closer to the cell membrane). Structure does not affect function of the cells‚ cells have a particular structure that enables them to carry out their function in the best way. 2.

Outline the roles of membrane at the surface of the cell The plasma membrane encloses the cell‚ defines it boundaries and maintains the essential differences between the cytosol and the extra-cellular environment. The separation of the internal and external environment maintains a constant internal environment which is essential for the cell to function efficiently. Membrane receptors can interact with specific molecules corresponding to stimuli such as hormones to generate a signal cascade which

1. Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus‚ bound by a double membrane. Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus. The purpose of the nucleus is to sequester the DNA-related functions of the big eukaryotic cell into a smaller chamber‚ for the purpose of increased efficiency. This function is unnecessary for the prokaryotic cell‚ because its much smaller size means that all materials within the cell are relatively close together. Of course‚ prokaryotic cells do have DNA and DNA functions. Biologists describe
