 This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
distinguish prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells according to their distinguishing
features and classify different cell types (of plant/animal tissues) and specify
the functions of each. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many
different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary
level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the
course.

The module is divided into two lessons, namely:

 Lesson 1 – Distinguishing Prokaryotic from Eukaryotic Cells
 Lesson 2 – Classifying Different Cell Types of Animal Tissues

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. compare and contrast prokaryotic from eukaryotic cells

2. identify the organelles present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
3. differentiate plant cells from animal cells
4. classify different cell types of animal tissues
5. explain function of each animal tissue
6. construct a 3D model of a cell (bacteria/plant/animal) using recyclable
materials.

 Lesson
Distinguishing Prokaryotic
1 from Eukaryotic Cells

Prokaryotes are predominantly unicellular organisms of the domains

Bacteria and Archaea. These single-celled organisms have plasma membranes,
cytoplasm, ribosomes, and DNA that is not membrane bound. Most prokaryotes have
peptidoglycan cell walls and many have polysaccharide capsules. Prokaryotic cells
range in diameter from 0.1 to 5.0 µm.

As a cell increases in size, its surface area-to-volume ratio decreases. If the

cell grows too large, the plasma membrane will not have sufficient surface area to
support the rate of diffusion required for the increased volume.

Like prokaryotic cell, a eukaryotic cell has a plasma membrane, cytoplasm,

and ribosomes. But a eukaryotic cell, which is typically larger than a prokaryotic cell,
has a true nucleus (meaning its DNA is enveloped by a membrane), and has other
membrane-bound organelles that allow compartmentalization of functions.

In this lesson, you will discover the distinguishing features of prokaryotic

cells and eukaryotic cells.

There are three basic types of cells: archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. Both
archaea and bacteria are classified as prokaryotes, whereas cells of animals, plants,
fungi, and protists are eukaryotes.

A prokaryotic cell is a simple, unicellular organism that lacks a true

nucleus, or any other membrane-bound organelle. Its DNA is found in a region
within the cell called nucleoid (Figure 1.2).

Most prokaryotes
have a peptidoglycan cell
wall and many have a
polysaccharide capsule
(Figure 1.2). The cell wall
acts as an additional layer of
protection, supports the cell
maintain its shape, and
prevents loss of water
(dehydration). The capsule
enables the cell to attach to
surfaces in its environment.
Some prokaryotes have
flagella for locomotion, pili
for exchange of genetic
material during conjugation, Figure 1.3
and fimbriae for bacteria to Source: https://openstax.org/books/biology-ap-
attach to a host cell. courses/pages/4-2-prokaryotic-cells

7
 At 0.1 to 5.0 µm in diameter, prokaryotic cells are significantly smaller than
eukaryotic cells, which have diameters ranging from 10 to 100 µm (Figure 1.3).
Small size is necessary for all types of cells. As a cell increases in size, its surface
area-to-volume ratio decreases. This same principle would apply if the shape of the
cell is cube. When there is insufficient surface area to support a cell’s increasing
volume, a cell will either divide or die. The cell on the left (Figure 1.4) has a volume
of 1 mm3 and a surface area of 6 mm3, with a surface area-to-volume ratio of 6 to
1. Whereas the cell on the right has a volume of 8 mm 3 and a surface area of 24
mm3, with a surface area-to-volume ratio of 3 to 1.

ap-courses/pages/4-2-prokaryotic-
cells

Prokaryotes are all single-celled organisms. For example, Escherichia coli

bacterium is a prokaryote, as is the streptococcus bacterium responsible for strep
throat. The Streptomyces soil bacteria, from which the antibiotic streptomycin is
derived, is also a prokaryotic organism. The entire subclass of archaea are also
prokaryotes, mostly remarkable because of their ability to thrive in very harsh
environments. An example of archaea is the Sulfolobus acidocaldarius
archeobacterium that lives in extremely acidic mud pots in geothermally active
areas.

Unlike prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells have: 1) a membrane-bound

nucleus; (2) numerous membrane-bound organelles such as the endoplasmic
reticulum, Golgi apparatus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, and others; and (3) several
rod-shaped chromosomes.

Because a eukaryotic cell’s nucleus is surrounded by a membrane, it is often

said to have a “true nucleus.” The word organelle means “little organ”.

Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic, so they contain membrane-
bound organelles like the nucleus and mitochondria. Despite their fundamental
similarities, there are more striking differences between animal and plant cells. For
example, plant cells contain chloroplasts that are not present in animal cells since
plants are able to perform photosynthesis.

Other eukaryotes are single celled organisms like yeast, paramecium and
amoeba. Grass, potatoes, and pine trees are all eukaryotes, as are algae,
mushrooms, and tapeworms. And, of course, grasshoppers, butterflies, and other
insects are also eukaryotes.

At this point, it should be clear to you that eukaryotic cells have a more
complex structure than prokaryotic cells. Organelles allow different functions to be
compartmentalized in different areas of the cell.

Investigation: Why Are Cells So Small?

Introduction:
The smallest objects that can be seen by the human eye are about 0.1 mm
long. Some single-celled organisms are just big enough that you could see them. A
human egg is about 0.12 mm in diameter. The vast majority of cells in your body and
cells that form bacteria are too small to see without a microscope. Usually, when a
cell gets too large, it divides or stops growing. Cells remain small because all
materials that are exchanged between the cell and its environment, like oxygen and
glucose, must pass through the cell membrane. If materials cannot be exchanged
efficiently, then the cell could die.
In this activity, you will apply your understanding of how surface area and
volume limit the size of cells.

11
Procedures:
Your task is to look for boxes available in your house and measure the surface
area and the volume of the boxes.
1. Measure the surface area by measuring the area of each
side of the box and adding those numbers. Show your
work below.
Surface area = 2 x a x b + 2 x b x c + 2 x a x c

2. Measure the volume of the box

Volume = a x b x c

3. Calculate the surface area to volume ratio.

SA / Volume

Compile Data: All the boxes available in your house are of different sizes.

2. The amoeba is a single-celled protist that is found in

pond water or lakes. The genus Chaos contains some
of the largest individuals. Shown on the right is a
representative of the species, Chaos carolinensis. Note
that the shape of an amoeba is irregular. In fact, the
word amoeba means "change." Amoebas move by
stretching their cytoplasm into extensions called
pseudopodia.

COVID-19 Science Spotlight

Viruses such as coronaviruses are much smaller than human cells and they
are even smaller than the bacteria in our bodies. Their tiny size makes them too
small to see under a light microscope and detectable only by other means. It also
means they are small enough to catch a ride on a tiny sneeze droplet. They are also
protected by the same type of membrane that surrounds human cells.

Procedures:

1. Watch this video, “How Big Is a Virus?”, from this link:

https://www.exploratorium.edu/video/how-big-virus to visualize how small
a coronavirus is and investigate the implications of its tiny size.

2. Also, learn from this video, “How Does Soap Inactivate Coronaviruses?”, using
this link: https://www.exploratorium.edu/video/how-does-soap-inactivate-
coronaviruses to find out how disrupting the coronavirus membrane with soap
or alcohol inactivates the virus.

3. After watching these videos, make a report on individual protective

precautions that need to be taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19 disease
caused by the newly emerged coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.

Classifying Different Cell
2 Types of Animal Tissues
Eukaryotic cells are found in organisms from the domain in Eukaryota which
includes animals, plants, fungi and protists. These eukaryotes have evolved into
multicellular organisms. By specializing into various types of cells, they are able to
perform functions even more efficiently and are able to keep large, multicellular
organisms alive.

We know it all starts with the cell and for some species it ends with the cell.
However, for other organisms, the cells come together to form tissues. A tissue is a
group of cells, not necessarily identical, but from the same origin, that together carry
out a specific function.

In this lesson, you will discover the different cell types of animal tissues and
their functions.

Directions: Observe the pictures below. Identify the different levels of organization
by rearranging the letters to form a word. Then, write the levels from simplest to
complex then describe each.

 Tissue is a level of organization between cells and a complete organism. A
tissue is composed of cells from the same origin that perform a specific function. The
different types of animal tissues are: (1) Epithelial, (2) Connective, (3) Muscle, and
(4) Nervous tissues.

1. Epithelial Tissue—This type of tissue is commonly seen outside the body

as coverings or as linings of organs and cavities. Epithelial tissues are characterized
by closely-joined cells with tight junctions (i.e., a type of cell modification).

Cells that make up epithelial tissues can have distinct arrangements:

 cuboidal—for secretion
 simple columnar — brick-
shaped cells; for secretion
and active absorption
 simple squamous—plate-
like cells; for exchange of
material through diffusion
 stratified squamous —
multilayered and regenerates
quickly; for protection
 pseudo-stratified columnar
—single layer of cells; may
just look stacked because of
varying height; for lining of
respiratory tract; usually Figure 1: Epithelial Tissue (Source: Reece JB, U. L.
(2010). Campbell Biology 10th. San Francisco (CA):.)
lined with cilia (i.e., a type of
cell modification that sweeps
the mucus).

2. Connective Tissue—These tissues are composed of the following:

 blood —made up of plasma (i.e., liquid extracellular matrix); contains water,
salts, and dissolved proteins; erythrocytes that carry oxygen (RBC),
leukocytes for defense (WBC), and platelets for blood clotting.
 connective tissue proper (CTP)—made up of loose connective tissue that
is found in the skin and fibrous connective tissue that is made up of
collagenous fibers found in tendons and ligaments. Adipose tissues are also
examples of loose connective tissues that store fats which functions to insulate
the body and store energy.
 cartilage—characterized by collagenous fibers embedded in chondroitin
sulfate.

19
 Chondrocytes are the cells
that secrete collagen and
chondroitin sulfate.
Cartilage functions as
cushion between bones.
 bone—mineralized
connective tissue made by
bone-forming cells called
osteoblasts which deposit
collagen. The matrix of
collagen is combined with
calcium, magnesium, and
phosphate ions to make the
bone hard. Blood vessels
and nerves are found at a
Figure 2: Connective Tissue (Source: Reece JB, U. L.
central canal surrounded by (2010). Campbell Biology 10th. San Francisco (CA):.)
concentric circles of osteons.

3. Muscle Tissue—These tissues

are composed of long cells called muscle
fibers that allow the body to move
voluntary or involuntary. Movement of
muscles is a response to signals coming
from nerve cells. In vertebrates, these
muscles can be categorized into the
following:
 skeletal—striated; voluntary
movements
 cardiac—striated with intercalated
disk for synchronized heart contraction;
involuntary
Figure 3: Muscle Tissue (Source: Reece JB, U. L.
(2010). Campbell Biology 10th. San Francisco  smooth—not striated; involuntary
(CA):.)

4. Nervous Tissue—These
tissues are composed of nerve cells
called neurons and glial cells that
function as support cells. These
neurons sense stimuli and transmit
electrical signals throughout the
animal body. Neurons connect to
other neurons to send signals. Figure 4: Neurons and Glial Cells (Source: Reece

tissue is indicated with an image number only and it is your task to develop an
identification scheme that can be used to identify all 10 tissues and to classify them
by their common structures. Group these tissues into 4 classifications (epithelial,
connective, muscle, and nervous). A scoring rubric is provided so you know the
expectations for this task.
