Eukaryotic Informative Speech
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are both vital to our world today. Prokaryotic cells are simple, yet the oldest, and were known to evolve around 3.5 billion year ago. Eukaryotic cells are more complex and have been said to appear on Earth 2.5 billion years ago. It is sort of like people or characters in movies. You see them one year and basically understand what they’re doing or going through and then a year or two from now they seem like they become more complicated to understand. That’s just what happened to the eukaryotic cell as it became more difficult than prokaryotic. Before I tell you about the endosymbiotic theory, let me give you a little background on it. It was proposed by a Boston biologist in the 1960s of a woman by the name

First, we know that in an eukaryotic cell majority of the organelles are separated with a membrane. All organelles carry out a different task in the cell. For example, in the chloroplast, photosynthesis (method used by plants and other things to get energy from the light of the sun into chemical energy) is carried out. Another example would be in the mitochondria, respiration takes place. Cellular respiration is when energy is collected from sugars and changed into chemical energy called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Also, in the nucleus, nuclear division (method in which the nucleus divides, which creates segregation of the genome to opposite poles of the cell). Let’s use a modern day example to explain this. Take a group project given in school consisting of 4 members. If each member, go to a separate room and work on the project, there would be physical barriers present. Each person is completing their own task separately. Each organelle carrying out their own task, in their own membrane. This is what the eukaryotic cell is. So basically, the membrane is there so that only the molecules that are needed goes in and out of that particular membrane. In other words, the importance of the membrane structure is to help the organelles carry out their task more smoothly. So if I had to choose which cell that I like best, even though the prokaryotic cell is simple and the most easy to learn, I would say the eukaryotic cell because it seems as if the cell has all of the right organelles to complete any task. It may be bigger and more complex but it’s worth learning
