1) The document describes an experiment comparing prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. 2) Prokaryotic cells like bacteria were observed under the microscope and found to lack a nucleus and organelles. 3) Eukaryotic cells from pond water were observed to have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, and were larger in size than prokaryotic cells.

EXPERIMENT NO. 3

COMPARING CELLS: PROKARYOTIC VS EUKARYOTIC CELL

OBJECTIVES:

Compare and contrast the structures of the prokaryotic cells with that of the eukaryotic
cells using prepared slide.

MATERIALS:

Prepared slides of prokaryotic organism (bacteria)

Pond water

Glass slide

Cover slip

Medicine dropper

Microscope

PROCEDURES:

Part A: Prokaryotic Cells

1. Observe a prepared slide of a prokaryotic cell. Note the name of the species.
2. Focus the slide under the low power objective and move the slide to find good
examples of these cells. Draw your observations.
3. Focus under medium and high power magnifications and draw your observations,
respectively.
4. Label the cell membrane, cell wall, and cytoplasm and other prominent structures.

Part B: Eukaryotic Cells

1. Add a drop of pond water in a glass slide


2. Focus the slide under the LPO and HPO and draw your observations.
RESULTS AND INTERPRETATION:

Draw the cells in their corresponding boxes below.

Prokaryotic Cell

LPO HPO

Eukaryotic Cell

LPO HPO

CONCLUSION:
GUIDE QUESTIONS:

1. What cellular structures do both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common?

Cell membrane and cytoplasm.

2. What organelles do eukaryotic cells have that are not found in prokaryotic cells?

Eukaryotic cells have nucleus and membrane-bound structures called organelles. While
prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane – bound structures.

3. In terms of physical features (e.g size and shape), how do these two types of cells differ?

In the prokaryotic cell I observed in the LPO and HPO they’re both the same but if you
look at the eukaryotic its size and shape are bigger than the prokaryotic.

4. Are all prokaryotes unicellular? Can they be multicellular?

The primary strategy in all life forms to produce whether a sexual is to replicate DNA.
But to cut to the chase… the answer is no. although there are lots of unicellular eukaryotes (ex.:
yeast, amoebas) there are no multi cellular prokaryotes, unless you would want to aggregate
bacteria that formed a colony in functioning through divided labor.

5. Cite examples of organisms that are prokaryotes.

Bacteria, archaea, and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae).

6. Aside from the species that you have examined, what are the other examples of single-
celled eukaryotic organisms?
Insects .
