In this lesson, you have learned that there are many important differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Later in this course, you'll use your knowledge of those differences to study many different aspects of both kinds of organisms. For instance, you'll learn more about how humans and other eukaryotes are able to use the unique characteristics of prokaryotic cells such as as bacteria to their advantage.
Use the activity below to make sure you understand the similarities and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Click on each of the cell models below to see which structures you will need to know for this activity. Then click the Activity button below the images, complete the worksheet, and submit it to your teacher. (Look back through this lesson, and the lesson on eukaryotic cells, to check your labels for each type of cell.)
