Question number 1 : Describe the structure of a generalized

eukaryotic plant cell . Indicate the ways in which a


nonphotosynthetic prokaryotic cell would differ in structure from
this generalized eukaryotic cell
The typical eukaryotic plant cell , as part of the eukaryotic can be
described as :
Structure :
Has a billayer protein phospholipid plasma membrane with protein
embedded in it
Cystoplasm/ cytosol a semifluid substance
_ Vacuole , especially central vacuoles
_Tonoplast ( membrane surrounded the central vacuole )
_ Nucleus contains nucleolus and has a double nuclear envelope
_ Double strand DNA and protein
_Chromosome
_ Ribosome
_ The endoplasmic reticulum ( the rough and the smooth one )
_ Golgi apparatus
_Cytoskeleton ( microfilaments , intermediate filaments ,
microtubules )
_ Mitochondria
_ Peroxisome
_ Plasmodesmata
_Cell wall
_Lysosome
Difference :
Plant cell Prokaryotic
_Larger in size _ Smaller in size ,
_ Membrane have cholesterol _Cell membrane lacks cholesterol
_Membrane bound organelles
absent : vacuole , mitochondria ,
chloroplast
_ Absent organelles : Nucleous ,
E.R , lysosome , peroxisome ,
_Absent : microtubules ,
microfilaments , plasmodesmata
_ Absent nuclear membrane
_ Genetic materials : Single DNA ,
no protein and circular
