Describe the structure and function of cilia.
● Hairlike protrusions on eukaryotic cells.● Move back and forth rhythmically to
sweep foreign substances e.g. dust or pathogens away / to enable the cell to move.

Contrast eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
Prokaryotic Eukaryotic
small cells & always unicellular larger cells & often multicellular
no membrane-bound organelles & no nucleus always have organelles & nucleus
circular DNA not associated with proteins linear chromosomes associated with histones
small ribosomes (70S) larger ribosomes (80S)
binary fission - always asexual reproduction mitosis & meiosis - sexual and/or asexual
cellulose cell wall (plants)/ chitin (fungi) absent in animal cells, in plants they are made of murein (also known as peptidoglycan)
capsule, sometimes plasmids & cytoskeleton no capsule, no plasmids, always cytoskeleton
