Abstraction
(Focused)
Two Types of Cells
There are two cell types: prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotic cells are
usually single-celled and smaller than eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells are
usually found in multicellular organisms, but there are some single-celled
eukaryotes.
Diagram of a typical prokaryotic cell. Among other things, prokaryotic cells have a plasma
membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and DNA. Prokaryotes do not have membrane-bound organelles or
a cell nucleus.
cell wall
plasma membrane
ribosomes
genetic material
lack of compartmentalization
binary fission
All prokaryotes have a cell wall that adds structural support, acts as a barrier
against outside forces and anchors the whip-like flagella. Some prokaryotes
have an extra layer outside their cell wall called a capsule, which protects
the cell when it is engulfed by other organisms, assists in retaining moisture,
and helps the cell adhere to surfaces and nutrients. Pili are hair-like
structures on the surface of the cell that attach to other bacterial cells or
surfaces.
