    Prokaryotic Cells

    Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles and contain circular DNA, a cell wall made of peptidoglycan, 70S ribosomes, and structures like capsules, flagella, pili, and plasmids that aid in functions such as movement, genetic exchange, and protection. Organisms are composed of cells that organize into tissues, organs, and organ systems. A leaf is an organ rather than a tissue because it contains multiple tissue types performing various functions, unlike a tissue which contains only one cell type.

    Prokaryotic cells

    Objective: understand and recognize the different structures that make


    up a prokaryotic cell

    Prokaryotic cells vs eukaryotic cells

    Prokaryotic cells have no membrane bound organelles

    Eukaryotic cells have membrane bound organelles


    Genetic transconjugation

    Structure Function
    Capsule Prevention of dehydration, protection
    Cell wall Made up of peptidoglycan that protects bacteria
    DNA Genetic information coding for proteins
    Plasmids Carry genes that help bacteria to survive
    Genetic trans conjugation (exchange of genetic material between
    Pilli
    bacteria), adhesion to other cells (attachment to other cells)
    Flagellum Locomotion (movement)
    Ribosomes Protein synthesis
    Animal eukaryotic cell Plant eukaryotic cell Prokaryotic cell
    Genetic material Stranded DNA Stranded DNA Circular DNA
    Cell wall Absent Cellulose cell wall Peptidoglycan
    Cell membrane Present Present Present
    Flagellum Present (complex) Absent Present (simple)
    Ribosomes 80S, 70S 80S, 70S 70S
    Plasmids Absent Absent Present
    Pilli Absent Absent Present

    Organizational structure in organisms

    All organisms are made up of cells (smallest unit of organization)

    Similar cells make up tissues

    Tissues make up organs

    Organs make up organ systems

    Organ systems make up organisms

    Explain why a leaf is an organ not a tissue (2):

    • Different tissues carrying out several functions while a tissue is made up of one type of
    cell

    Differences between tissues and organs (2)

    • A tissue is made up of similar cells while an organ is made up of different tissues


    • Tissue has one function, while organs have more than one function
