| Biogenic Law | All cells arise from preexisting cells (“Omnis cellula e cellula”) |
| Properties of cells | Complex, highly organized, Grow/divide: Self-reproduce, and Cells self-regulate their functions |
| Major Domains | Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya |
| Prokaryotes | Bacteria and Archaea |
| Bacteria small | Typically up to 10 micron |
| Eukaryotes | 10 to 1000 micron |
| Prokaryotic cells have a relatively | simple structure. |
| Eukaryotic cells have a | complex internal structure with many membrane limited organelles. |
| Cell Types have common features | Plasma membrane, DNA genetic code with similar codon usage, Metabolism similar, Transcription/translation similar |
| Prokaryotes Eukaryotes have nucleoid, No cytoskeleton | Oppositely Eukaryotes have nucleus and ctyoskeleton |
