Eukaryotic Cell Structure & Function Lecture Materials
These
are the Eukaryotic Cell Structure & Function lecture materials of the Virtual Cell
Biology Classroom. The resources below are used to supplement an actual
college cell biology course.
You have free access to a large collection of materials used in a college-level introductory Cell Biology Course. The Virtual Cell Biology Classroom provides a wide range of free educational resources including Power Point Lectures, Study Guides, Review Questions and Practice Test Questions.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
These lecture learning objectives are a study guide based on the VCBC Eukaryotic Cells Lecture PowerPoint:
- What are the two basic types of biological cells?
- Know the structural components of eukaryotic cells (organelles & other cellular components).
- Know the components of the eukaryotic endomembrane system and how this system of membranes functions to move materials into, out of, and within the cell.
- How are eukaryotic cells similar to prokaryotic cells? How are they different?
LECTURE POWERPOINT
Versions of Eukaryotic Cell PPT:
- Student's Eukaryotic Cell PowerPoint Show
- Student's Eukaryotic Cell PowerPoint PDF Printout
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.
EUKARYOTIC CELL DIAGRAM HOMEWORK
Word document of a in-class activity given to students at the end of lecture. This tool helps the students review the main messages of the lecture 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 for additional readings.
- Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic: Two Types of Biological Cells
