Activity 1: Application

A. Complete the Venn diagram below and determine the similarities and differences
between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Prokaryotes Eukaryotes

-No Nucleus -Has Nucleus

-Both have DNA
-Lack membrane- -Do not lack membrane-
bound organelles -Both have cell bound organelles
membranes
-Circular DNA -Linear DNA Structure
Structure -Both have cytoplasm

-Always unicellular -Both contain ribosomes -Can be unicellular or

multicellular
-Both have Flagella
-An example is -Examples are plants,
bacteria animals, fungi, and
protists

Answer the following questions briefly.

1. How are tissues related to organ systems?

- Humans—and other complex multicellular organisms—have systems of organs that work

together, carrying out processes that keep us alive. The body has levels of organization
that build on each other. Cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, and organs make
up organ systems.
2. Why are some cells in your body highly specialized? Cite an example and explain.

- Cell specialization allows new cells to develop into a range of different tissues, all of which
work together to make living organisms function as a whole. This means they are modified
by size, shape, or function according to their purpose. For example, nerve cells are highly
specialized to carry "messages" through an electrochemical process.

C. Complete the table below.

Cell Plants Animals

Function
Modifications (Yes/No) (Yes/No)
No Yes They work, for instance, to keep the
airways clear of mucus and dirt, allowing
Cilia us to breathe easily and without irritation.
They also help propel sperm.

No Yes The primary function of a flagellum is that

of locomotion, but it also often functions
Flagella as a sensory organelle, being sensitive to
chemicals and temperatures outside
the cell.
Yes Yes Increases the cell's surface area and
thus facilitate the absorption of ingested
Microvilli food and water molecules.

Yes No The function of root hairs is to

collect water and mineral nutrients that
Root hairs are present in the soil and take this
solution up through the roots to the rest
of the plant.
