Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells Worksheet

Provide a list describing at least three differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells:

1. Eukaryotic cells are much larger than prokaryotic cells.2. Eukaryotic cells has a true nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not.3. Eukaryotic DNA is linear while prokaryotic DNA is circular.

Choose two internal structures of prokaryotic cells and three from eukaryotic cells and describe their function in your own words.

Cell Structures

Structure Function

Cell WallProvides protection against physical damage. It supports growth. Allows water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen to scatter and spread

in and out of the cells.

Nucleoid Region A form of reproduction. Contains genes.

Mitochondrion Breaks down glucose molecules to release energy for the cell.

Nuclear Membrane Controls movement of materials in and out of the nucleus.

Golgi Apparatus Packages and exports proteins to other cell parts.
