Target
Cells are classified as prokaryotic cell and eukaryotic cell. Eukaryotic cell
contains a nucleus while prokaryotic cell does not have a distinct nucleus. This is
one of the major distinct difference of eukaryotic from prokaryotic cells. We will learn
further the similarities and differences of these two types of cell as to cell size, the
complexity of structures and other features that may be present or absent in either
eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells.
In your previous lesson, it emphasizes the different structures and functions

of cell in general. Some of the specialized cell structures will be discussed in the next
part of this chapter.
In you Grade 7 Science, the cell type that was introduced to you are animal
cell and plant cell only. Lesson 1 on this module will discuss the cell type as to
eukaryotic and prokaryotic. In addition to types of cell, lesson 2 will be focusing on
the types of tissues as to animal and plant tissues.
This lesson will provide you information and activities that will help you to
familiarize and distinguish the differences and similarities of eukaryotic and
prokaryotic cells. Moreover, this module will introduce the different types of plant
and animal tissues and their specific functions. How the shapes and appearance of
the cell tissues related to their functions. You will find out how “form fits function”
will be applied to cell types that forms these tissues.
After going through this lesson, you are expected to: distinguish prokaryotic
and eukaryotic cells, according to their distinguishing features (STEM_BIO11/12-
Ia-c-3) and classify different cell types (of plant/animal tissues) and specify the
functions of each (STEM_BIO11/12-Ia-c-4)
Learning Objectives:
1. Define prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell;
2. Identify the different types of animals and plant tissues;
3. Differentiate prokaryotic from eukaryotic cells according to their
distinguishing features;

Discover
The difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms is said to be the

most important distinction among the groups of living things. Deriving from the name
itself, eu means “true” while karyon means “nucleus” and pro means “before” it
means that prokaryotic cell has no distinct nucleus. Here are the distinguishing
features of eukaryotic from prokaryotic cells.
Prokaryotic cell
A prokaryote is a simple, single-celled (unicellular)organisms that lacks a

nucleus, or any other membrane-bound organelle. These include the members of
kingdom Eubacteria and Archaebacteria. They are much simpler in structure and
may occur singly, in pairs, chains, clusters, aggregates or colonies. The prokaryotic
DNA is found in a region within the cell called the nucleoid. Most prokaryotes have
a peptidoglycan cell wall and many have polysaccharide capsule. The cell wall acts
as an extra layer of protection, helps the cell maintain its shape and prevents
dehydration. The capsule enables the cell to attach to surfaces in its environment.
Some prokaryotes have flagella (for locomotion), Pili (for genetic material exchange
during conjugation) and Fimbriae (for attachment to host cell).
Prokaryotic cells are significantly smaller (0.1 to 5.0 µm in diameter) than

eukaryotic cells. The small size of prokaryotes allows ions and organic molecules that
enter them to quickly diffuse to other parts of the cell. However, both types of cells
possess cytoplasm.
Eukaryotic Cell
All multicellular organisms, including humans, which composed of complex

of many cells are examples of eukaryotic cells. Kingdom Protista, Fungi, Plantae and
Animalia are the members of eukaryotic living things. Unlike prokaryotic cell,
eukaryotic cell has; 1. Membrane-bound nucleus; 2. Other membrane-bound
organelle such as endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, chloroplasts,
mitochondria, and others; 3. Several rods-shaped chromosomes.
Eukaryotic cells are generally larger in size which have diameters ranging from
10 to 100 µm (but still microscopic) and have more complex structure than
5
prokaryotic cells. Since most of the organelles are membrane-bound, organelles allow
different functions to be compartmentalized in different areas of the cell.

textbook (Vibal group)
Plant and Animal Tissues
Cells which are similar in structure group together to form tissues performing a
particular function. Tissues form organs which combine to allow organisms to exist.
Plant and animal cells have structures related to their functions. Plant tissues are
broadly divided into dividing or meristematic and permanent tissues. Animal tissues
are made up of embryonic tissue that can be divided into two kinds of stem cells: 1.
Embryonic stem cells- tissue in an embryo that produces all other tissues during
growth; 2. Adult stem cells- tissue in adult that produces new tissue cells to replace
old and damaged ones; 3. Permanent tissue, which consists the four major animal
tissues- epithelial, connective, muscle and nerve tissue.
I. Types of Animal Tissues
Figure 4. Types of animal tissues
6
A. Epithelial tissue
This type of tissue is

commonly seen outside the body as
coverings or as linings of organs and
cavities. Epithelial tissues are
characterized by closely-joined cells
(i.e., a type of cell modification).
Being tightly packed, tight junctions
serve as barriers for pathogens,
mechanical injuries, and fluid loss.
The cells that make up epithelial
tissues can have distinct
Figure 4. Epithelial Tissue (Source: Reece arrangements: 1. cuboidal - for
JB, U. L. (2010) secretion; 2. simple columnar -
brick-shaped cells; for secretion and
active absorption; 3. simple squamous - plate-like cells; for exchange of material
through diffusion; 4. stratified squamous - multilayered and regenerates quickly;
for protection; 5. pseudo-stratified columnar - single layer of cells; may just look
stacked because of varying height; for lining of respiratory tract; usually lined with
cilia (i.e., a type of cell modification that sweeps the mucus).
B. Muscle Tissue
These tissues are composed

of long cells called muscle fibers that
allow the body to move voluntary or
involuntary. Movement of muscles
is a response to signals coming from
nerve cells.
In vertebrates, these muscles

can be categorized into the
following: 1. skeletal - striated;
voluntary movements; 2. cardiac -
striated with intercalated disk for
synchronized heart contraction;
involuntary; and 3. smooth - not
striated; involuntary
Figure 6. Muscle Tissue (Source: Reece
JB,U.L) (2010). Campbell)
C. Connective Tissue
1. Blood - made up of plasma (i.e., liquid extracellular matrix); contains water, salts,
and dissolved proteins; erythrocytes that carry oxygen (RBC), leukocytes for defense
(WBC), and platelets for blood clotting.
2. Connective Tissue Proper (CPT)- made up of loose connective tissue that is found
in the skin and fibrous connective tissue that is made up of collagenous fibers found
7
in tendons and ligaments. Adipose
tissues are also examples of loose
connective tissues that store fats,
which functions to insulate the body
and store energy.
3. Cartilage —characterized by
collagenous fibers embedded in
chondroitin sulfate. Chondrocytes are
the cells that secrete collagen and
chondroitin sulfate. Cartilage
functions as a cushion between bones.
4. Bone—mineralized connective
tissue made of bone-forming cells
called osteoblasts which deposit
Figure 7. Connective Tissue (Source: collagen. The matrix of collagen is
Reece JB, U. L. (2010). Campbell) combined with calcium, magnesium,
and phosphate ions to make the bone
hard. Blood vessels and nerves are found in a central canal surrounded by concentric
circles of osteons.
D. Nervous Tissue
These tissues are composed of

nerve cells called neurons and glial cells
that function as support cells. These
neurons sense stimuli and transmit
electrical signals throughout the animal
body. Neurons connect to other
neurons to send signals. The dendrite is
the part of the neuron that receives
impulses from other neurons while the
axon is the part where the impulse is
transmitted to other neurons. Figure 8. Neurons and Glial Cells
(Source: Reece JB, U. L. (2010).

II. Types of Plant Tissues
Plant tissues, primarily function is to give structural support to the plant, as

plants are stationary. Plant tissues can be divided differently into two types;
Meristematic tissues and permanent tissues.
A. Meristematic Tissues- It consists of actively dividing cells that lead to the

increase in length and thickness of the plant. The primary growth of a plant occurs
only in certain, specific regions, such as in the tips of stems or roots. It is in these
regions that meristematic tissue is present. The cells in these tissues are roughly
spherical to rectangular in shape, and have thin cell walls. New cells produced by
8
meristem are initially those of meristem itself, but as the new cells grow and mature,
their characteristics slowly change and they become differentiated.
1. Apical meristem- It is present at

the growing tips of stems and roots
and increases the length of the stem
and root. They form growing parts at
the apices of roots and stems and are
responsible for increase in length,
also called primary growth. This
meristem is responsible for the linear
growth of an organ.
2. Lateral meristem- This meristem

consist of cells, which mainly divide
in one plane and cause the organ to
increase in diameter and grows.
Lateral meristem usually occurs
Figure 8. https:/www.brainkart.com beneath the bark.
3. Intercalary Meristem - This meristem is located in between permanent

tissues. It is usually present at the base of the node, inter node and on leaf
base. They are responsible for growth in length of the plant and increasing
the size of the internode, They result in branch formation and growth.
B. Permanent tissues – Plant tissues that contain nondividing cells that was derived
from meristematic tissues.
1. Simple Permanent tissues- A group of cells which are similar in origin;

similar in structure and similar in function. They are of three types;
Parenchyma, Collenchyma and Sclerenchyma.
a. Parenchyma- Parenchyma (para -

'beside'; chyma - 'in filling, loose,
unpacked') is the bulk of a substance.
In plants, it consists of relatively
unspecialized living cells with thin cell
walls.
This tissue provides support to

plants and also store food. In some
situations, a parenchyma contains
chlorophyll and performs
photosynthesis, in which case it is
called a chlorenchyma. In aquatic
plants, large air cavities are present in
parenchyma to give support to them to
Figure 9. https:/www.brainkart.com
float on water. Such a parenchyma type
is called aerenchyma.
9
b. Collenchyma- Collenchyma is Greek word where "Collen" means gum and
"chyma" means infusion. This tissue gives a tensile strength of the plant and
the cells are compactly arranged and have very little inter-cellular spaces. It
occurs chiefly in the hypodermis of stems and leaves. It is absent
in monocots and in roots.
c. Sclerenchyma- Sclerenchyma is Greek word where "Sclerenes" means hard

and "chyma" means infusion. This tissue consists of thick-walled, dead cells.
These cells have hard and extremely thick secondary walls due to uniform
distribution of lignin. Lignin deposition is so thick that the cell walls become
strong, rigid and impermeable to water.
2. Complex Permanent tissues- The complex tissue consists of more than one type
of cells, which work together as a unit. Complex tissues help in the transportation of
organic material, water and minerals up and down the plants. That is why it is also
known as conducting and vascular tissue. The common types of complex permanent
tissue are: Xylem and Phloem.
Figure 10. https:/www.brainkart.com
a. Xylem- consists of a variety of specialized, water-conducting cells known

as trachea elements. A vascular tissue that conveys water and dissolved
minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and provides physical support
also.
b. Phloem- It is composed of various specialized cells called sieve tubes,

companion cells, phloem fibers, and phloem parenchyma cells. This are
tissues in plants that conduct foods made in the leaves to all other parts of
the plant.

The first cell to appear on Earth were prokaryotic cells about 2.5 billion years
ago. Prokaryotes are smaller in size that’s why materials can quickly diffuse. This is
not the case in eukaryotic cells, which have developed different structural
adaptations to enhance cellular transport. In the case of eukaryotic cells which are
larger in size than prokaryotic cells, diffusion of materials is less efficient. In other
words, as cell grows, it becomes less efficient. One way to become more efficient is to
divide; another way is to develop organelles that perform specific tasks. These
adaptations lead to the development of more sophisticated cells called eukaryotic
cells.
To further enrich your understanding of these two cell types, you are tasked to do
the next activity. You are going to make a task cards or game cards. These task cards

1. The Heart
The heart’s job is to pump blood throughout the body. It is a muscular organ that
has a network of nervous tissue used to conduct electrical signals to control the
pumping rhythm. The heart has a supportive fibrous framework and a series of
valves that are made from connective tissue. Blood is supplied to the heart muscle
by a network of coronary blood vessels.
_____________ _____________ ______________ _____________ _____________
2. Skin
The skin is the largest organ of the human body. It is responsible for protection
from pathogens, regulation of body temperature and prevention of excessive water
loss. The skin contains layers of cells held together by a network of connective
tissue. Nerve endings allow for the perception of heat, pressure and pain. A
network of capillaries nourishes deeper layers of the skin.
_____________ _____________ ______________ _____________ _____________
14
3. The Brain
The brain serves as the center of the nervous system in almost all animals. The
human brain is thought to contain between 15-33 billion neurons that
communicate together to provide our senses. The brain demands a relatively large
supply of oxygen in comparison to other organs of the body. Special layers of
connective tissue called ‘Meninges’ encase and protect the brain within the skull
_____________ _____________ ______________ _____________ _____________
4. Lungs
Lungs allow air-breathing animals to extract oxygen from the air. Air enters the
lungs via the windpipe (trachea). The trachea contains a series of flexible cartilage
rings similar to the ribbing in a vacuum cleaner hose. The trachea branches into
two bronchi and then into further bronchioles that do not have cartilage, but have
smooth muscle. Inside the lung are many small air sacs known as Alveoli. Blood
vessels surround the alveoli to allow the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
