Many organelles:
•Double membranes e.g.:
Few present, none
Organelles membrane bound
nucleus, mitochondria &
chloroplasts
•Single membrane e.g.: GA,
ER & lysosomes
Ribosome translates
mRNA into a polypeptide
chain (e.g., a protein).
Mitochondrion
manufactures adenosine
triphosphate (ATP), which
is used as a source of • circa 100 trillion (1014) cells in a human organism
energy. • 200 different forms of cells

molecular and cell biology
Prokaryotes
• Single celled organism
• Kingdom Monera
• Lacks a cell nucleus
• Internal structure is less
organized than other cells
Prokaryotes
• Genetic info needed is within
the cell
• Two most common – blue
green bacteria and true
bacteria
Blue green bacteria
• Have ability to produce their
own food like plants
• Most bacteria get their food
from other sources
Prokaryotes
• Less complex than eukaryotes
• Still have many of the basic
internal characteristics
Common prokaryote
structures
• Cytoplasm
• Chromosomal material
• Cell membrane and wall
• Ribosomes
• Some have flagellum for mobility
Eukaryotes
• Organism made up of cells that
have a nucleus
• May be single celled – Kingdom
Protista
• May have billions of cells like
plant and animal kingdoms
Eukaryotes
• Single celled eukaryotes
include paramecia, euglena,
and diatoms
Eukaryotes
• Typically are highly organized
• Infinite number of shapes and
purposes
Eukaryotes
• Human body has at least 85
different cell types
• All eukaryotes have a number
of structures in common
