PROKARYOTE VS

EUKARYOTE

LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1.  Describe the relationship of cells to living organisms

using the cell theory 2.  Differentiate between a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell 3.  Analyze the evolution of eukaryotic cells based on the

endosymbiotic theory 4.  Explain the evolutionary advantage of cellular structure

and organization in prokaryotes and eukaryotes

ENDOSYMBIOTIC THEORY

LIFESTYLE OF CELLS Compare the organization of rooms in a bahay kubo vs a mansion/rest house. How does this fit the lifestyle of its owner?

GROUP DISCUSSION 1.  Unlike eukaryotes, prokaryotes are devoid of organelles

and remain unicellular. What is the advantage of such a simple organization?

2.  Eukaryotes have organelles and are mostly multicellular? What evolutionary adaptation does this illustrate and what is its advantage?

3.  In most agricultural ventures, there is a demand for mass production. What are the economic considerations on the mass production of prokaryotes vs eukaryotes considering their lifestyle?
