P. Pathak
Let’s Review
• All living things are made of _______
• So far we have learned about 2 kinds of
cells: ______________
and _______________
• The difference between these two types is
that ___________ cells have chloroplasts,
1 large vacuole, and cell walls BUT
______________ cells don’t.
There are 2 types of cells
EUKARYOTE
PROKARYOTE
Eukaryotic Cells
• Animals, plants,
fungi, and protists are
eukaryotes
• Eukaryotes are
organisms whose
cells are organized
into complex
organelles.
Actual Eukaryotic Cells
Prokaryotic Cells
• Bacteria and
archaea are the only
Prokaryotes in the
world
• Prokaryotes are
unicellular organisms
that lack a nucleus
and most organelles.
Huge Size Difference!
Prokaryotic
Cells are TINY!
Eukariotic Cells are BIGGER!
Actual Prokaryotic Cells
Which organelles is the Prokaryote cell missing?
Therefore
ANIMAL CELLS
and
PLANT CELLS
are ___________________________ .
a) Prokaryote Cells
b) Eukaryote Cells
Which type
of cell is
more
complex?

On a half-sheet of paper
Write down at least 4 similarities and
differences between prokaryote cells and
eukaryote cells.
