Concept explainers
To determine: Whether the organism showed is prokaryotic or eukaryotic and also identify the structures in it.
Concept introduction:
All living beings are composed of one or more cells to perform the specialized functions. Prokaryotes including bacteria and archaea are unicellular organisms. Eukaryotes include some single-celled and all multicellular organisms. All the cells, either prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells have few common features including the presence of DNA, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes. However, eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles such as nucleus that prokaryotes do not have.

- What type of micrograph is shown below? Is the organism pictured prokaryotic or eukaryotic? How can you tell?arrow_forwardFor the organisms in the picture below: 1. To what kingdom do they belong? 2. Are they prokaryotic or eukaryotic?arrow_forwardRank the following in order from smallest to largest: ant, prokaryoticcell, actin molecule, microtubule, nitrogen atom. What type ofmicroscope (if any) would you need if you wanted to see each?arrow_forward
- Indicate whether the following structures occur in Bacteria, Eukarya or both. Also indicate one function for the structure. 1 ) Ribosomes2) Nucleus3) Cell wall4) Flagella5) Fimbriaearrow_forwardThis organism belongs to which Class? What is structure A? This organism is a member of which Order?arrow_forwardCarefully observe the cell morphology of the two organisms below. Then, draw the cell morphology. Cells should be drawn large enough so that you can show an accurate shape and arrangement. Your drawing should capture the relative length and width of the cells. There should be no pointy corners, no open circles, no extra “tails” and no overlapping rings. Specify cell morphology and if the organism a) Escherichia coli or b) Staphylococcus aureusarrow_forward
