Question

1) classify the characteristics below as being unique to prokaryotic cell, common to both, or unique to eukaryotic cells.

--contain DNA
--DNA Contained in nucleoid region
--relatively small, typically less than 10 nanometers in size
--have cytoplasm
-use ribosomes to synthesize proteins
--Nuclear membrane surrounds DNA

2) You have three cells

cell 1 =1mm                                   cell 2=2mm                                          cell 3=3mm
surface area=6mm^2                       surface area=24mm^2                           surface area=54mm^2
Volume=1mm^3                              volume=8mm^3                                     Volume 8mm^3

What is the surface area to volume ratio for reach of the cells

Explanation / Answer

--contain DNA --------- common to both
--DNA Contained in nucleoid region --------- eukaryotic cells
--relatively small, typically less than 10 nanometers in size --------- prokaryotes
--have cytoplasm ----------- common to both
-use ribosomes to synthesize proteins --------- common to both
--Nuclear membrane surrounds DNA ----------- eukaryotic cells

cell 1 =1mm                                   cell 2=2mm                                          cell 3=3mm
surface area=6mm^2                       surface area=24mm^2                           surface area=54mm^2
Volume=1mm^3                              volume=8mm^3                                     Volume 8mm^3

What is the surface area to volume ratio for reach of the cells

S/V ratio = 6                                       S/V ratio = 3                                       S/V ratio = 6.75
