In this assignment, you will compare and contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes in terms of everything you learned in this class. Then pick one of the below statements as true (A or B) and answer the questions with sound arguments:
B) Eukaryotes are more advanced (explain why you conclude this) —- If so, why are prokaryotes still the most abundant and ubiquitous form of life?
Main point and purpose: This writing assignment helps you bring all the concepts we covered this semester together to compare these two types of organisms.
Assignment should include the following components:
Introduction: Write an introduction on life, different forms of life, and evolution. Do NOT summarize the rest of your paper.
Compare and contrast: Include a table for prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Have the syllabus in front of you to have a view of all the concepts we covered. You need to compare these two types of organisms in terms of all we covered: cell structure and function, metabolism, cell division, reproduction, DNA structure, inheritance, gene expression, and its regulation,…. Your table should look like the one below WITH MANY MORE ROWS!
Prokaryotes
Eukaryotes
Cell structure (general structure, organelles, features,…etc)
Metabolism (energy transformations, pathways,…)
