Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells: Explore cell types, organelles, and DNA. Essential science for 7th grade!

Choose the bestwords to complete each sentence While prokaryotic cells cells are more simple than eukaryotic cells, both of them have important functions in our world. Inside eukaryotic cells you will find a nucleus that contains the DNA, while prokaryotic cells have free floating DNA. Prokaryotic cells are cells without any organelles. The DNA in prokaryotic cells is in the cytoplasm. Prokaryotic cells are found in single-celled organisms, such as bacteria. They were the first type of organism to evolve. They are still the most common organisms on Earth today. Eukaryotic cells are cells that contain a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells are usually larger than prokaryotic cells. They are found mainly in multicellular organisms. They range from fungi to people. Match the components listed to the correct cell type or "both" if the component can be found in prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.
