EUKARYOTIC CELLS

-Originated 1.5 billion years ago

-Make up multicellular organisms

-Examples: Animals and plants

-Covered by a cell membrane

-Has flagella to help with movement

-Has DNA

-Has ribosomes

-Regulates the flow of nutrients and waste that goes in and out

-Has cytoplasm

-Can reproduce (multiply)

-Has a nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, golgi bodies, and chloroplasts (plant cells)

-Ten times larger than prokaryotic cells

-Has mitochondria that provide energy to the cell

PROKARYOTIC CELLS

-Originated 3.5 billion years ago

-Make up only single celled organisms

-Example: Bacteria cells, amoeba, paramecium

-Covered by a cell wall and membrane

-Has cytoplasm

-Has flagella to help with movement

-Has DNA

-Has ribosomes, but no other organelles inside the cell

-Regulates the flow of nutrients and waste that goes in and out

-Energy created through cell membrane

-Some have pili (short hairlike structures) that help them stick to other cells and move.
