Question

warm up: 3.4 cell size and magnification notes
questions:

1. write or draw 3 things you already know about cells.
2. observations about bacterial cell:
3. observations about plant cell:
4. what are some similarities and differences and differences between the bacterial and plant cells?

quiz questions:

1. the ____ is the basic unit of life

a. organism b. cell c. tissued. organelle

1. a bacteria cell is a prokaryotic cell. true or false?
2. a fungus cell is a prokaryotic cell. true or false?
3. a plant cell is a prokaryotic cell. true or false?
4. a prokaryotic cell has a nucleus. true or false?
5. both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have genetic material in the form of dna. true or false?

Explanation:

1. Cells are the basic building - blocks of life. They can be of different types like prokaryotic and eukaryotic.
2. Bacterial cells are prokaryotic, lacking a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles.
3. Plant cells are eukaryotic, having a nucleus, cell wall, and chloroplasts among other features.
4. Similarities between bacterial and plant cells include having a cell wall (though different in composition), and genetic material in the form of DNA. Differences are that plant cells are eukaryotic with a nucleus and organelles like chloroplasts, while bacteria are prokaryotic without a nucleus.

For quiz questions:

1. The cell is the basic unit of life. Bacteria are prokaryotic, fungi and plants are eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus, but both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have DNA as genetic material.

Answer:

1. Questions:

• Answers will vary based on prior knowledge. Could include that cells are the building blocks of life, some cells have a nucleus, cells can be different shapes and sizes.
• Bacterial cells are small, prokaryotic, lack a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles.
• Plant cells are eukaryotic, have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole.
• Similarities: Both have cell walls (different composition), DNA as genetic material. Differences: Plant cells are eukaryotic with nucleus and organelles like chloroplasts; bacterial cells are prokaryotic without a nucleus.
