eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells 1.1.1

Cards (11)

  • prokaryotes have a smaller and simpler cell structure and do not contain a nucleus or other large organelles
  • eukaryotes have a more complex cell structure and do contain a nucleus or other large organelles
  • a slime capsule protects the outside of a cell
  • the flagella moves the cell around
  • plasmids is a loop of dna
  • a bacterial cell has: a cell membrane, cytoplasm, cell wall, plasmid, food granules, flagella, slime capsule, ribosome
  • a yeast cell contains: cytoplasm, nucleus, cell wall, mitochondria, ribosomes, temporary vacuole, food granules, and a cell membrane
  • eukaryotic cells include animal and plant cells
  • prokaryotic cells include bacteria
  • in prokaryotic cells the genetic material is not enclosed in a nucleus, it is a single DNA loop and there may be one or more small rings of DNA called plasmids 
  • in eukaryotic cells their genetic material is enclosed in a nucleus
