2A: Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic cells
Outcome:
By the end of the lesson you will be familiar with the structural features of prokaryotic cells. You will be able to draw a simple prokaryotic cell and label its features.
Engage:
There are approximately 5 x 10^30 bacteria on Earth. They are 10 - 100 x smaller than an average animal cell, yet the combined biomass of bacteria is greater than that of plants and animals combined. Bacteria are prokaryotic cells, meaning they lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
