prokaryote
no nucleus or membraned organelles
eukaryote
has nucelus and membraned organelles
Structures: Bacteria, Plants, and Animals
Structures: Bacteria and Plants
Structures: Plants and Animals
Structures: Plants
Structures: Animals
Benefits: prokaryotic
requires less energy and resources and reproduces faster
Benefits: eukaryotic
more specialized and can perform more tasks
Bacteria: a way to get rid of waste
enzymes in the cytoplasm digest unneeded molecules, which can be recycled, burned for energy, or gotten rid of through the cell membrane
Bacteria: a container
a cell wall and one or two cell membranes
Bacteria: a set of instructions
free-floating DNA
Bacteria: a way to read instructions
transcription and translation
protein synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm
Bacteria: a way to get and use energy
perform cellular respiration and (some bacteria) photosynthesis
Plants: a way to get rid of waste
the vacuole has enzymes that digest waste, which can be recycled, burned for energy, or gotten rid of through the cell membrane
Plants: a container
cell wall, cell membrane, and organelles
Plants: a set of instructions
DNA in the nucleus
Plants: a way to read instructions
transcription and translation
protein synthesis can happen in the cytoplasm or in the ER
Plants: a way to get and use energy
perform cellular respiration and photosynthesis
Animals: a way to get rid of waste
lysosomes have enzymes that digest waste, which can be recycled, burned for energy, or gotten rid of through the cell membrane
Animals: a container
cell membrane and organelles
Animals: a set of instructions
DNA in the nucleus
Animals: a way to read instructions
transcription and translation
protein synthesis can occur in the cytoplasm or in the ER
Animals: a way to get and use energy
perform cellular respiration
