Amoeba Sisters - Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells Watch the video below about prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. You may want to take notes as you watch the video. Use the video to complete the fill-in-the-blank section below.Click on each blank for a drop-down list of words. Each word is only used once.You may have to scroll through the drop-down list to see all of the words in the word bank. Prokaryotes are organisms that can be bacteria or archaea. They are unicellular, which means they are single-celled organisms. Eukaryotes can be protists, plants, animals, or fungi. They can be unicellular or multicellular, which means they can be made up of many cells.Prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells have many things in common. For example, both have DNA, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and a cell membrane. They also have many differences. For example, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. It's important to remember that all cells of all living things fall into one of these two categories! Which type of cell is shown in this picture? prokaryotic cell eukaryotic cell Use the video and the fill-in-the-blank section to sort each statement below into the following categories: Prokaryotic Cells, Eukaryotic Cells, or Both.Click on each statement for a drop-down list, then select the category where the statement fits best.There will not be an equal number of statements in each category. Prokaryotic Cells No membrane-bound organelles No nucleus Make up bacteria Make up archaea Make up most unicellular organisms Eukaryotic Cells More complex Have a nucleus Have membrane-bound organelles Make up fungi Make up plants Make up animal cells Make up most multicellular organisms Both Cytoplasm Ribosomes DNA Cell membrane What is one way of distinguishing between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells? The lack of membrane bound organelles eukaryotic cells are smaller and less complicated ribosomes are only in eukaryotic cells the method of nutrition
