Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes:


1
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
  • by Grier Sellers, M.S.
  • Doctoral Candidate in Biology
  • NSF GK12 Fellow
  • Temple University

2
Two Kinds of Cells
  • Prokaryotic Cell
  • - has DNA (usually circular) not surrounded by
    membranes
  • - less complex, lacks most organelles
  • - evolved first
  • - has 70S ribosomes
  • Eukaryotic Cell
  • - has DNA enclosed in a nuclear membrane (when
    the DNA is enclosed in this way, we call it a
    nucleus)
  • - more complex, has many organelles
  • - evolved much later
  • - has 80S ribosomes

Two Kinds of Life
  • Prokaryotes
  • (organisms made of one or more prokaryotic cells)
  • - Archaea (Archaebacteria)
  • - Bacteria (Eubacteria)
  • Eukaryotes
  • (organisms made of one or more eukaryotic cells)
  • - Protists
  • - Animals
  • - Fungi
  • - Plants
