Prokaryotic Cell Structure & Function Lecture Materials
These
are the Prokaryotic Cell Structure & Function Lecture materials of the Virtual Cell
Biology Classroom. The resources below are used to supplement an actual
college cell biology course. Anyone taking, teaching or interested in
biology may find these materials helpful and is welcome to use them.
'
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 Prokaryotic Cell Structure & Function PowerPoint:
- Know the three components of cell theory.
- Understand, and be able to define the structural components of prokaryotic cells.
- What is the difference between a vegetative cell and an endospore?
- Understand how prokaryotic cells reproduce.
- Understand the importance of the bacterial cell wall. What makes a Gram+ cell different than a Gram- cell; how the differences impact control of microorganisms.
- Which types of organisms are prokaryotes?
- Know the example prokaryotes that we discussed in lecture and the information that was provided with each example.
LECTURE POWERPOINT
All Versions of Prokaryotic Cell PPT:
- Student's Prokaryotic Cell PowerPoint Show
- Student's Prokaryotic 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.
Word document of assignment 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.
