DESCRIPTION

An original cell limerick.

TRANSCRIPT

Cell LimerickIts hard to tell some cells apartIf you dont know where you should startJust look far withinThe membrane so thinAnd you could come up with a chart

If you can see little organellesAnd free DNA in the gelIts likely that youFor sure through and throughSee a prokaryotic cell

But if you see some organellesWith membranes on them like a shellThere is a good chanceYoure in the expanseOf a eukaryotic cell

Explanation:This limerick is about some differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It explains that prokaryotic cells have only a small number of organelles and free DNA in the cytoplasm. It also explains that eukaryotic cells have organelles that are wrapped in membranes. What the limerick basically did was compare some contrasting elements between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells to help identify each cell type.
