Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic Cells Worksheet
Transcript of Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic Cells Worksheet
Prokaryotic CellsProkaryotes are microscopic single-celled organisms. Prokaryotic cells don’t have a distinct nucleus with a membrane. Correctly label the following prokaryotic cell structures.
Cell Membrane Cell Wall Capsule Pili Plasmid
Flagella Nucleoid Region Ribosomes Cytoplasm
Briefly explain the function of each labeled structure.

Eukaryotic CellsEukaryotes are organisms that can be both unicellular and multicellular. The genetic material is DNA
which is contained within a distinct nucleus. Correctly label the following eukaryotic cell structures.
Nucleus Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Ribosomes
Mitochondria Lysosome Vacuole Cytoplasm
Cell Membrane Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi apparatus
Briefly explain the function of each labeled structure.

Eukaryotic Cells Plant and Animal cells are both eukaryotic cells. While they contain many of the same organelles, there are significant differences between them. Write the number of the correct corresponding structure in the table below. Then, distinguish between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells by writing either a tick or cross in the boxes.
