Answer 2

Two Basic Types of Cells
• Prokaryotic- bacteria
– larger than eukaryotic cells
– lacks a nucleus but has a nucleiod (a region of coiled DNA)
- DNA is in direct contact with rest of cells contents
– Cell wall- a rigid complex structure that protects the cell and helps to maintain its shape
– Some have a sticky outer coat called a capsule that further protects the cell and helps to adhere the cell to surfaces
– Some have projections
* Pili- short projections that aid in adhesion
* flagella- used to propel through the liquid environment

• Eukaryotic- all other forms of life

Human Cell
Plant Cell

Answer 3

Don't forget fungi! They're eukaryotic too!

Answer 4

The three domains of life all have very different cells. While our standard description is to have cells divided into prokaryote and eukaryote, you have to acknowledge that archae and bacteria are vastly different cells. I would argue that the three basic cells types are archaeal, bacterial, and eukaryote.

Answer 5

There are two main divisions of cells: Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes.
