Question
take a look
- identify label the parts of the prokaryote with the following terms: dna, flagellum, cell membrane, cell wall:
math focus
- calculate most of the smallest prokaryotic cells have diameters of about 1 micron. what do you expect is the diameter of the smallest eukaryotic cell?
take a look
- identify what does this cell have that a prokaryotic cell does not?
Step1: Recall cell - size knowledge
Eukaryotic cells are generally larger than prokaryotic cells. The smallest eukaryotic cells are about 10 times larger than the smallest prokaryotic cells.
Step2: Calculate diameter
Given prokaryotic cell diameter is about 1 micron. So the diameter of the smallest eukaryotic cell is about 10 microns.
