Today’s Objective:
 SWBAT
differentiate between
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
The Two Types of Cells

As microscopes got
more powerful,
scientists started look
at the parts inside
cells.

An organelle is a
small, specialized
structure inside a
cell.
The Two Types of Cells
All cells can be divided into two
categories:
Eukaryotic Cells
Prokaryotic Cells
Prokaryotic cells (Pro rhymes with NO)
Prokaryotic Cells




Do NOT contain a nucleus or any other
membrane-bound organelles.
DNA floats around in the cytoplasm
Very small. Smaller than eukaryotic
cells.
Usually found in bacteria and other
unicellular organisms
Eukaryotic cells (Eu rhymes with True)
DNA
Eukaryotic cells




Contain a nucleus or any other
membrane-bound organelles.
DNA located in the nucleus.
Very large. Smaller than eukaryotic
cells.
Usually found in animals, plants,
fungus, protist and other
multicellular organisms
