Prokaryotic Cells

  • Pro means before

  • Simple organisms possessing small size and simple structures

  • Do not have a true nucleus

  • Includes bacteria blue green algae and archaeans

  • Reproduce fast

  • Can be found in air soil water and inside living organisms

New cards

Eukaryotic Cells

  • Eu means true and karyon means nut
  • Complex type of cells
  • Found in fungi plants animals and protists
  • Genetic material is enclosed within a nucleus
  • Cells have membrane-bound organelles
  • Organelles are neatly arranged
3
New cards

Nucleic Acids

  • Main information-carrying molecules of the cell
  • Lead the process of protein synthesis
4
New cards

Protocells

  • Hypothesized to have been formed by polymerization of organic molecules
  • Possibly formed in heated rocks or clay
  • Might have been enclosed by a lipid-protein membrane
  • Might have possessed enzymatic activity
