How Do You Tell The Difference Between Prokaryotes And Eukaryotes?
• Load the specimen cell on to the glass slide. Loading… • Dilute the specimen with water. • Put another glass slide or coverslip on top of the specimen. • Place the slide with the specimen enclosed in it under the microscope. • Turn it to lowest magnification level. • Focus the image. Look through the tube at the specimen cell. • • If the cell is a Prokaryote, it will have a cell membrane as well as cytoplasm. It does not contain a nucleus though. Also the genetic material is a simple circle called a plasmid. All bacteria are Prokaryotes. A example of this is Escherichia coli (E. coli), which lives in your intestines. Also Staphylococcus aureus, which can cause skin infections. • If it is a Eukaryote, it will contain a nucleus. A good way to recognize a eukaryote is the large amounts of specialized structures, called organelles. Organelles perform specialized tasks. Although some live solitary as single-celled organizms, there are more types that are multicellular organisms. All ani
