ACTIVITY 3: EUKARYOTIC CELL

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: humans and some of w/c cause human

1. Describe a eukaryotic cell
2. Give the functions of the various organelles of
the eukaryotic cell
3. Distinguish cells and their subcellular
organelles under th microscope
disease.
● ARCHAEA: single-celled microorganisms
found in all types of environments but first
discovered in extreme environments, such
as hot spring.

● Cells are the building blocks of all living 1. Examine the prepared slides under

undergo the process of differentiation and
especially (cession). They are composed
from tissues w/c are organized to organs
and to our organ system.
● Prokaryotic cells such as those bacteria
have a simpler organization. Single cellular
DNA w/c is not separated from cytoplasm
by membrane. Do not have any membrane
organelles like cytoskeleton. Small
ribosomes are present in its cytoplasm
and have cell walls on the surface.
Frequently reproduced by sexual
reproduction or (mitosis)or binary fission
w/c occurs immediately after DNA
replication.
★ According to the organization of the nucleus
and other structures we distinguish
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Base on their basic chemistry, structure, and

hereditary material, all cells on fall into one of
three groups, as if the family tree of life on
Earth split into three main branches, called
DOMAINS:
● EUKARYA: plants, animals, fungi, and plants,
even humans.
● BACTERIA: familiar, single-celled
microorganisms, some of w/c are useful to

● ESOPHAGUS - draw the cells that

dominate the superficial layer. Notify the
instructor if you have identified them
microscopically.

● BLOOD SMEAR - identify draw and

label at least 3 cells present.
