Prokaryotic Cells Vs. Eukaryotic Cells Now that we have learned how living things are organized what’s next? We will learn more about the lowest level of organization: cells What is the first thing that we need to know about cells? All cells fall into one of the two major classifications of either prokaryotic or eukaryotic. What’s the difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes? Prokaryotic cells were here first and for billions of years were the only form of life on Earth. All prokaryotic organisms are unicellular Eukaryotic cells appeared on earth long after prokaryotic cells but they are much more advanced. Eukaryotic organisms unlike prokaryotic can be unicellular or multicellular. Glow in the dark squid… how does it do that? Vibrio fischeri Glow in the dark bacteria Helps it survive in the ocean Lives in fish and other marine life Let’s Take a Look at the Characteristics of Prokaryotes Prokaryotes are the simplest type of cell. Oldest type of cell appeared about four billion years ago. Prokaryotes are the largest group of organisms Prokaryotes unicellular organisms that are found in all environments. Let’s Take a Look at the Characteristics of Prokaryotes Prokaryotes do not have a nuclear membrane . Their circular shaped genetic material dispersed throughout cytoplasm. Prokaryotes do not have membrane-bound organelles . Prokaryotes have a simple internal structure. Prokaryotes are smaller in size when compared to Eukaryotes. Shapes of Prokaryotes Cocci = spherical (round) Bacillus = (rod shaped) Spirilla = helical (spiral) What do prokaryotic cell look like? Now let’s take a look at the characteristics of eukaryotes Eukaryotic cells appeared approximately one billion years ago Eukaryotes are generally more advanced than prokaryotes Nuclear membrane surrounds linear genetic material (DNA) Is there more? Yes!!! Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotes have several different parts. Prokaryote’s organelles have coverings known as membranes. Euka
