Types of Cells: Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes
Basic Parts of ALL Cells
1. Plasma membrane• Serves as the outer boundary of the cell
Basic Parts of ALL Cells:
2. Cytoplasm• Fluid inside the plasma membrane that contains dissolved
molecules
3. Genetic Material• DNA that regulates the functions of the cell
But what makes cells different?
1. Size2. Complexity3. Presence of a nucleus• Nucleus = membrane-bound structure that
houses DNA4. Presence of organelles• Organelle = membrane-bound intracellular
structures with a specific function
Prokaryotes Eukaryotes
Size 0.1-10 μm 10-100 μm
Complexity Simple Complex
Presence of Nucleus Absent Present
Presence of Organelles Absent Present
Examples BacteriaArchea

Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cell
Picking apart the words…
• Prokaryote• “Pro” = before• “kary” = nucleus
• Eukaryote• “Eu” = true• “kary” = nucleus
Identify that Cell
Identify that Cell
