Eukaryotic Cell Structure & Function Lecture Materials
These
are the Eukaryotic Cell Structure & Function Lecture materials of the Virtual Microbiology Classroom. The resources below are used to supplement an actual
college microbiology course. Anyone taking, teaching or interested in
biology may find these materials helpful and is welcome to use them.
The Eukaryotic Cell Lecture materials include:
- a list of learning objectives
- a PowerPoint lecture
- a homework assignment
- additional required readings
- practice test questions
- review questions
- links to additional educational materials
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
These lecture learning objectives are a study guide based on the VMC Eukaryotic Cell Structure & Function Lecture PowerPoint Show:
- Understand differences and similarities between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
- Know the structural components of eukaryotic cells (organelles & other cellular components).
- Know which cellular components are found only in eukarotes, only in prokaryotes and those found both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
- What is the endomembrane system and what does it do? Do prokaryotes have an endomembrane system?
- Name and describe two energy-producing organelles in eukaryotic cells.

You have free access to a large collection of materials used in a college-level introductory microbiology course. The Virtual Microbiology Classroom provides a wide range of free educational resources including PowerPoint Lectures, Study Guides, Review Questions and Practice Test Questions.

LECTURE POWERPOINT
Versions of Eukaryotic Cell PPT:
- Student's Eukaryotic Cell PowerPoint Show
- Student's Eukaryotic Cell PowerPoint PDF Printout
Fill-in-the-Blank Format:
All of the lecture PowerPoints used in the Virtual Cell Biology Classroom are fill-in-the-blank format to encourage students to pay attention and follow along during the presentation.
Printing:
The best way for students to print out the PowerPoint Show is to download the PDF version. Select Print, and, when the Print screen comes up, go to the Print Handling options. Under Page Scaling, select "Multiple pages per sheet", Under Pages per sheet, select "2". That uses up less paper, placing two slides on each page.
This assignment is a tool designed to help students review eukaryotic cell structure from an infectious disease perspective, while allowing the instructor to assess the class' understanding of the material.
REQUIRED READINGS
Here is what you need to read, in addition to the PowerPoint, to master this topic. Check Moodle & your textbook for additional readings.
- Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic: Two Types of Biological Cells
PRACTICE TEST & REVIEW QUESTIONS
These multiple-choice / matching practice test questions and essay review questions are designed to help you better understand the material from this lecture.

eukaryotic endomembrane system work together to
ship materials around
within the cell.
