1wkst-Types of Cells Worksheet

This document provides a worksheet for students to compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It includes questions that guide students to identify key cellular structures on diagrams and color them according to instructions. Students are asked to identify the two types of cells, examples of eukaryotic cells, structures found in both cell types, where DNA is stored, and structures unique to each cell type. The goal is for students to understand the distinguishing characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells through interactive labeling and coloring of diagrams.

Types of Cells Worksheet Name ______________________________

Date ___________________ Period _____


For this assignment, you will be comparing the characteristics of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Answer the
following questions using the information on the coloring page. Color the pictures according to the
information below.
1. Look at the diagram, what are the 2 types of cells (gray words)?

Examples of Each Type of Cell


2. On the coloring page, what are the four types of organisms that have eukaryotic cells (k, l, m, n)? Color
each of the four examples using colors that make them look realistic.

3. Look at the label to the lower right of the eukaryotic cell. From which type of organism was this cell
taken?

4. Bacteria are usually stained pink so they can be seen with a microscope, so color each of the bacterium
and rickettsia in the circles in pink. Cyanobacteria are commonly referred to as blue-green algae – color
them blue-green. Look at the label to the top left of the prokaryotic cell. What type of organism is
represented?

both eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic
cells? Identify the structures by d Yellow
completing the table and color the f Orange
picture accordingly.
j Brown

6. In eukaryotic cells, where is the DNA stored? ________________________ Color the outside of this
structure dark blue.
7. In the prokaryotic cell, the DNA is found floating in the _________________ toward the ______________
of the cell.
8. Which other structures are found in LETTER CELL STRUCTURE COLOR
eukaryotic cells but not prokaryotic e pink

g green
completing the table and color the
picture accordingly. h purple
i black

9. Look at the prokaryotic cell. There are 2


structures shown on the prokaryotic but LETTER CELL STRUCTURE COLOR
not the eukaryotic. What structures
o light brown
does this prokaryotic cell have that the
eukaryotic cell does not? Chart  m light green

10. All prokaryotes exist as one single cell which means they are ____________________ organisms.
