Study Guide 3 - Learning Activity 1:

Provide information in the following table showing the principal differences between
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells:

Characteristics Prokaryotic Eukaryotic


Size of Cell 0.1μm to 5.0μm in 10.0μm to 100.0μm in
diameter diameter
(but typically: 0.2-2.0 μm
in diameter)
Nucleus ABSENT PRESENT
(But has nucleoid region)

Membrane-Enclosed Organelles ABSENT PRESENT; ORGANELLES


LIKE:
• Nucleus
• Ribosomes
• endoplasmic reticulum
• Golgi apparatus
• Vacuoles
• Lysosomes
• Mitochondria
• In plants, chloroplasts
Flagella YES, consists of two YES, complex; consists of
protein building blocks multiple microtubules
Glycocalyx YES YES
Cell Wall Yes... In some, • In plants, Cellulose.
Peptidoglycan. • In Fungus, glucans, chitin
and glycoproteins.
Ribosomes YES YES
Chromosome
YES, HAS ONE BUT NOT YES, HAS MORE THAN ONE
TRUE CHROMOSOME
(Plasmids and free-
floating)

Cell Division BINARY FISSION MITOSIS


Sexual Recombination NO MEIOSIS; transfer of INVOLVES MEIOSIS
