Critical Reading (QUESTIONS ARE AT THE LAST PAGE)

Read these passages from the text and answer the questions that follow.
Two Types of Cells
There is another basic cell structure that is present in many but not all living cells: the
nucleus. The nucleus of a cell is a structure in the cytoplasm that is surrounded by a
membrane (the nuclear membrane) and contains DNA. Based on whether they have a
nucleus, there are two basic types of cells: prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.

Prokaryotic Cells
Prokaryotic cells are cells without a nucleus. The DNA in prokaryotic cells is in the
cytoplasm rather than enclosed within a nuclear membrane. Prokaryotic cells are found
in single-celled organisms, such as bacteria. Organisms with prokaryotic cells are called
prokaryotes. They were the first type of organisms to evolve and are still the most
common organisms today.

Eukaryotic Cells
Eukaryotic cells are cells that contain a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells are usually larger than
prokaryotic cells, and they are found mainly in multicellular organisms. Organisms with
eukaryotic cells are called eukaryotes, and they range from fungi to people. Eukaryotic
cells also contain other organelles besides the nucleus. An organelle is a structure
within the cytoplasm that performs a specific job in the cell. Organelles called
mitochondria, for example, provide energy to the cell, and organelles called vacuoles
store substances in the cell. Organelles allow eukaryotic cells to carry out more
functions than prokaryotic cells can.

Viruses: Prokaryotes or Eukaryotes?


Viruses are tiny particles that may cause disease. Human diseases caused by viruses
include the common cold and flu. Do you think viruses are prokaryotes or eukaryotes?
The answer may surprise you. Viruses are not cells at all, so they are neither
prokaryotes nor eukaryotes.
Viruses contain DNA but not much else. They lack the other parts shared by all cells,
including a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes. Therefore, viruses are not
cells, but are they alive? All living things not only have cells; they are also capable of
reproduction. Viruses cannot reproduce by themselves. Instead, they infect living hosts,
and use the hosts’ cells to make copies of their own DNA. For these reasons, most
scientists do not consider viruses to be living things.
