Lesson 2: Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic

Name: ___________________________________________________ Date: _________________________

Grade and Section: ______________________________________ Rating: ________________________

I. LEARNING TARGETS:
At the end of this lesson, you can distinguish prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells according to
their distinguishing features (STEM_BIO11/12-Ia-c-3) by:
1. Describing eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells; and
2. Comparing and contrasting the features of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

II. LEARNING EXPERIENCES:

A. Focusing Activities
a. Priming Activity
Title of the Activity: Sense it!
Instructions:
1. 5- List 5 things you SEE
2. 4- List 4 things you can Feel/Touch
3. 3- List 3 things you can HEAR
4. 2- List 2 things you can SMELL
5. 1- List something positive about YOU.

b. Activation of Prior Knowledge

Title of the Activity: “Take a look”

c. Guided Questions:
1. What can you say about the pictures presented?
2. How do these pictures relate to one another?

d. Linking Statement:
Great idea! The pictures show cell and a house. Like the different types of houses,
different organisms also have varying types of cells. These cells also contain different structures
that all contribute to the normal functions necessary for life, just like houses. You will learn more
as we discuss the Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic. You will be working in dyad. You are expected to
distinguish prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells according to their distinguishing features.
III. GUIDED INSTRUCTION
A. CONCEPT NOTES:
PROKARYOTIC CELL
 A prokaryotic cell is a type of cell that does not have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
within its cytoplasm. This type of cell is like a studio-type condo unit that does not have several
compartments.
 Prokaryotes are small, single-celled organisms that have prokaryotic cells.

 These organisms are metabolically diverse because they can utilize different nutrients and energy
sources and they can inhabit all types of environment on Earth.

 All bacteria that include the organisms of domains Archaea and Bacteria are considered as
prokaryotes.

Fig1. Archaea vs. Bacteria

EUKARYOTIC CELL
 The other type of cell that is characterized by the presence of nucleus and membrane-bound
organelles within its cytoplasm is called a eukaryotic cell.

 Membrane-bound organelles of eukaryotic cells provide compartmentalization in the cell. This is

comparable to a mansion that has several rooms or compartments.

 Domain Eukarya which includes protists, fungi, plants, and animals are examples of eukaryotes.
B. Checking for Understanding:
Title of Activity: Answer me!
Instruction/s:
1. Read and analyze the questions carefully.
2. Choose the correct letter of the answer.
3. Write your answer on the space provided.

__________1. Based on the diagram, what type of organism is the euglena and why?
A. The Euglena is prokaryotic, because it has
chloroplast.
B. The Euglena is eukaryotic, because it has flagellum.
C. The Euglena is prokaryotic, because it has
mitochondria.
D. The Euglena is eukaryotic, because it has a nucleus.

_________2. A single prokaryotic cell can divide several times in an hour. Most eukaryotic cells
cannot divide this quickly. Which of the following statements best explains this difference?
A. Eukaryotic cells are smaller than prokaryotic cells.
B. Eukaryotic cells have less DNA than prokaryotic cells.
C. Eukaryotic cells are more structurally complex than prokaryotic cells.
D. Prokaryotic organisms are typically multicellular while eukaryotic organisms are unicellular.

________3. Which of the following statements best describes the organism below?
A. The organism is eukaryotic because it has a Cilia
B. The organism is prokaryotic because it has DNA
C. The organism is eukaryotic because it has membrane-
bound organelle
D. The organism is prokaryotic because it has a plasma
membrane.
________4. Which of the following statements best describes eukaryote chromosomes compared to
prokaryote chromosomes?
A. Eukaryotes generally have multiple linear chromosomes, while prokaryotes have a single
stranded circular chromosome.
B. Prokaryotes generally have multiple linear chromosomes, while eukaryotes have a single
stranded circular chromosome.
C. Eukaryotes generally have a single linear chromosome, while prokaryotes have a multiple
strand chromosomes.
D. Prokaryotes typically have a single linear, while eukaryotes typically have multiple circular
chromosomes.

________5. Which type of cell that is found in algae, fungi, protozoa, plants, and animals and can be
single-celled, colonial or multicellular?
A. Eukaryotic cell
B. Prokaryotic cell
C. Single cell
D. None of these
