Prokaryote/Eukaryote Touch Up
Directions: Fill in the blanks and then determine if the cells are
eukaryotic or prokaryotic
Prokaryotes don’t have a ____________, while Eukaryotes have a _____________.
Bacteria is considered a ________________, while Plant/Animals are considered
_______________.
1. Most people know about blood types, some also know about tissue types. However, now we
may need to consider intestinal bacteria types as well. As part of a large, international research
consortium, scientists from the University of Copenhagen have recently contributed to map
special ”enterotypes”, which are three distinctive clusters of bacteria in the human distal gut.
What type of cells do these clusters of bacteria have? _______________________________
2. Erythrocytes in mammals are anucleate when mature, meaning that they lack a cell nucleus.
What type of cells do the erythrocytes have? __________________________________
3. A brand new baby polar bear was born on Nov. 22 at the Scandinavian Wildlife Park in Kolind,
some 170 kilometers (105 miles) northwest of Copenhagen, little Siku was removed from his
mother just two days later. Zookeepers were concerned because he was "constantly screaming
and being very unsettled," the zoo's website reports.
For the third year in a row, his mother Ilka had apparently not produced any milk, prompting his
keepers to try and bottle the cub instead. The cub, whose name means "ice" in Greenlandic, has
responded well to the bottle. He has doubled in size since his birth and now weighs some 3.2
kilograms (7 pounds), the zoo reports.
What type of cells are the polar bears Siku and Ilka made up of? ________________________
4. There are three major classes of plant cells that can then differentiate to form the tissue
structures of roots, stems, and leaves. The tissue types are: Dermal tissue - the outer most
covering of a plant; Vascular tissue - Responsible for transport of materials throughout the plant;
Ground tissue - Performs photosynthesis, starch storage and structural support.
What type of cells make up the tissues of these plant cells? __________________________
5. Scientist recently did a study on how fast cancer cells multiply in a patient with lung cancer.
They took a sample of the cancerous cells from the lung and compared them to that of normal
healthy lung cells.
What type of cells are lung cells? ________________________________________
