THE SCIENCE OF PROKARYOTES

WHAT IS A PROKARYOTE?

• Are almost all single celled organisms
• They do not have a nucleus
• They do not have membrane bound organelles
• They are considered microorganisms
• They are divided into two domains- bacteria and archea.

THE DIFFERENCE IN EUKARYOTES.

• Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus
• And membrane bound organelles
• They also have similar molecules as archea

ARCHAEA

• Archaea are different from bacteria because of genetics in their cell walls
• Some of the molecules in archaea are similar to the molecules in eukaryotes.
• Some of the molecules in archaea can't be found in any other living organisms
• Archaea can live almost any where- deep sea vents, and hot springs
• Research shows that archea live everywhere!
