2. Cells: The Building Blocks of Life The CELL THEORY states that all living things are made of cells Cells come from other cells Cells in our world come in two basic types: -Prokaryotic - Eukaryotic
3. Cells: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic “Karyose” comes from Greek word for “kernel” and is used in biology to refer to the nucleus of the cell “Pro” means “before” therefore PROkaryotic means before a nucleus (or a cell having no nucleus or a fake nucleus “Eu” means “true” therefore Eukaryotics means possessing a true nucleus
5. Differences between the two Prokaryotic Eukaryotic Have NO nucleus enclosed within membranes Have NO organelles enclosed within membranes Have nucleus enclosed within membranes Have organelles enclosed within membranes Each organelle does a specific cell function
