Notes to the Learners
This module is self – instructional and contains 2 lessons that are
interconnected with each other. If you have access to the internet
there are suggested videos to complement with the contents of this
module. You can also access our Google Classroom for additional
references. Happy learning. (All answers to the asessments and
activities in this module should be written on an answer
sheet.)
What’s New
TRUE/FALSE
Directions: Read each statement below carefully. Write F if you think a statement it TRUE. Write
T if you think the statement is FALSE.
1. The word karyon in the term 'eukaryotic', means 'nut' or 'kernel'. (True / False)
2. Prokaryotic cells have no membranes between them and the outside world. (True
/ False)
3. Fungi are more like eukaryotes than prokaryotes. (True / False)
4. Some prokaryotic cells have flagella at one end, but some don't. (True / False)
5. The genetic material in prokaryotic cells is very primitive and only consists of RNA, not
DNA. (True / False)
6. Binary fission is a method of cell division seen in prokaryotes. (True / False)
7. All eukaryotic cells have a plasma (cell) membrane. (True / False)
8. Meiosis in eukaryotes usually produces haploid cells at the end of the double cell
division. (True / False)
What is It
All living things are made of cells, the smallest units that can be alive. Life on earth is classified
into five kingdoms and they have their own characteristic kind of cell. However the biggest division
is between the cells of the Prokaryote kingdom (the bacteria) and those other four kingdoms
(Animals, Plants, Fungi and Protista), which are all eukaryotic cells.
6
Organisms whose cells have a nucleus are called eucaryotes (from the Greek words eu, meaning
―well‖ or ―truly, and karyon, a ―kernel‖ or ―nucleus‖). Organisms whose cells do not have a
nucleus are called prokaryotes (from pro, meaning ―before‖).
Prokaryotes
Prokaryotes are organisms made up of cells that lack a cell nucleus or any membrane encased
organelles. This means the genetic material DNA in prokaryotes is not bound within a nucleus.
Additionally, the DNA is less structured in prokaryotes than in eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, DNA
is a single loop. In Eukaryotes, DNA is organized into chromosomes. Most prokaryotes are made
up of just a single cell (unicellular) but there are a few that are made of collections of cells
(multicellular). Scientists have divided the prokaryotes into two groups, the Bacteria and the
Archaea. Prokaryotes are typically spherical, rod like, or corkscrew-shaped, and small—just a few
micrometers long, although there are some giant species as much as 100 times longer than this.
They often have a tough protective coat, called a cell wall, surrounding the plasma membrane,
which encloses a single compartment containing the cytoplasm and the DNA.
Eukaryotes
Eukaryotes are organisms made up of cells that possess a membrane-bound nucleus as well as
membrane-bound organelles. Genetic material in eukaryotes is contained within a nucleus within
the cell and DNA is organized into chromosomes. Eukaryotic organisms may be multicellular or
single-celled organisms. Eukaryotic cell membrane contains sterols, whereas no prokaryotes
except the wall of Mycoplasma, has sterol in its membrane. All animals are eukaryotes. Other
eukaryotes include plants, fungi, and protists. Eukaryotic cells, in general, are bigger and more
elaborate than bacteria and archaea. Some live independent lives as single-celled organisms, such
as amoebae and yeasts; others live in multicellular assemblies. All of the more complex
multicellular organisms—including plants, animals, and fungi—are formed from eukaryotic cells.

Assessment
Read the analogy below and answer the questions that follow.
An efficiency apartment is a one-room apartment. This one room is where you sleep, eat, shower,
and entertain your guests. It all happens in one room. It is a simple way of living in a small space.
A mansion is a large, complex living space with many separate rooms. There are rooms for cooking,
eating, sleeping, bathing, reading, watching TV, entertaining guests, exercising, and storage. The
rooms in a mansion are constructed for the specific things you would like to be able to do. You
can live in simple efficiency or complexity. In this activity we will be looking at cells that are as
simple as a one-room efficiency apartment or as complex as a mansion.
3. With as much detail as possible, give another example of an analogy for describing the difference
between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.

Lesson
General Biology I :
2 Cell Type
What’s In
Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic, so they contain membrane-bound organelles like the
nucleus and mitochondria.
However, plant cells and animal cells do not look exactly the same or have all of the same
organelles, since they each have different needs.
What’s New
LET’s START
Directions: Use the KWL chart below to record what you know, what you want to know and what
you have learned regarding plant and animal cells.
“Plant cells and animal cells look different and yet have many similarities. What do you know
about the similarities and differences between the two basic types of cells?”
12
What is It
All living things, plant and animal, are made up of similar building blocks called cells which is the
basic structural and functional units of life. From the outside, plants are different from animals.
Plants can't move around and catch food like animals, and they give off oxygen instead of carbon
dioxide. But plants and animals are more similar than they seem from the outside.
Plant and animal cells are called eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic organisms have cells with their
genetic material enclosed in a nucleus. Plants, animals, fungi and protists are all eukaryotes; these
organisms are made up of one or more cells with a variety of membrane-bound organelles,
including the nucleus — the organelle that contains all the DNA and genetic instructions.
Below is a table of comparison of plant and animal cells and their extracellular components.
