1 The prokaryotic cells
A. What’s the prokaryotic cells

Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus or other
membrane-bounded compartments. They have
a relatively simple internal organization.
The prokaryotes include :
 Bacteria
 Cyanophytes.
yanophytes
Figure 1- The anatomy illustration and the electron micrograph.
Prokaryotic cells lack much of the internal compartmentalization
and complexity especially a distinct nucleus.
4.1 The prokaryotic cells
B. Common features
A typical bacterium usually consists of:
Plasma lipid bilayer and embedded proteins for small mol

membrane ecule exchange
Cytoplasm the plasma membrane-enclosed region, and the liq
uid portion called the cytosol
Genetic nucleiod (single and circular chromosome), plasmi
materials d
Ribosmes protein synthesis machinery
Nucleoid:
The genetic material of prokaryotic cells is a
single circular DNA strand ( without protein )
and is located within the cytoplasm .
4.2 The eukaryotic cells
What’s the Eukaryotic Cells

Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bounded nucleus
and usually have other membrane-bounded
compartments or organelles as well.
Animals, plants, fungi, and protis

ts have a membrane-bounded nucl
eus in each of their cells and are cl
assified as eukaryotes.

Four Parts in Eukaryotic Cells
 Biomembrane system
Plasma membrane
Membrane-bound organelles
 Genetic system
 Cytoskeleton—framework system
 Cytosol and Ribososme
The Compartmentalization
The Importance of Compartmentalization

The thousands upon thousands different chemical reactions
can carry on efficiently in different organelles isolated and
organized which cooperate with each other.
Control the raw materials transport in and

out ;
Keep away inappropriate molecules
avoiding disturb their perform functions;
All have their own characteristic
enzymes;
Improve their efficiency of metabolism.
