hey we're going to talk about two different types of cells this is a very important biology objective but it's also really important in daily life so let me give you an example let's say you get a really bad infection and there's a lot of things that can cause infections right for table bacteria can cause infections and viruses can cause infections but the kind of infection I'm talking about today it's a fungus infection fungi and that's the plural of fungus you don't say just as you say fungi can cause all kinds of infections for example ringworm that's not at all it's actually a fungus that's a fungus or yeast infection can probably really gross you out but this is all the type of fungus infection for the kind of fungus infection I'm going to talk about is one that's more it's one that would happen if for example you were in the hospital and your immune system was really compromised this is not a common thing at all but it is Simple Thing fungi can get into the bloodstream and if it does it is extremely difficult to treat why well from one thing antibiotics do not work on fungi antibiotics only work on bacteria bacteria are an example of prokaryote cells so it's not a type of prokaryote it's actually the other type of cell called eukaryotes and antibiotics are not what does against eukaryotes your own cells are also eukaryotes so when you try to treat the fungus that's in the blood it's extremely difficult to treat because you might start your own cells or at least have some really undesirable side-effects so the example here talked about two different kinds of cells prokaryotes and eukaryotes karaoke where the bacteria eukaryotes however in our example included the fungi cells and also the human cells these two different cell types have one major thing in common they both have a cell membrane all living cells have cell membranes little longer clip on how important the cell when is it controls what goes in and out of the cell and by doing that it keeps everything pretty stable don't get the cell membrane though mixed up with a cell wall which your support and protection that varies in the group so that's not a no we think that's so membrane yes always also both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have genetic material in the form of DNA they both have this otherwise whenever you make more of that type of cell there would be no way to transmit that make information and eukaryotes both have ribosomes which are these tiny little structures to help make protein for the cell we actually get to this mating process a little bit later now one major difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes turn the organelles  I think of the word organelle like the word organ can I get out of organs in your body you have a heart liver bronze well organelle I'd like to think of that is kind of like little organs and eukaryotes have these membrane-bound organelles there's a whole list of them in if you go online you can find a bunch of them and their functions for the cell but prokaryotes do not have membrane-bound organelles so when way I like to tell students remember this eukaryote the U rhymes with do they do have membrane-bound organelles and prokaryote the pro rhymes with no and they do not have membrane-bound organelles so what is an example of a membrane-bound organelle a very famous one is the new I say it's famous because everyone always thinks of this one kind of like the brain of the cell that controls a lot of the cell's functions also holds the genetic material for the nucleus holds the DNA prokaryotes again do not have a membrane-bound organelles they do not have a nucleus and so their DNA is organized a different matter and it's not it's nicely organized either as it is in a eukaryote we're not going to go into the different types of organelles today that's pretty easy formation to find one thing though that I'd like to mention to cell has a certain function it might have more of a certain kind of organelle or it might have a different kind of our organelle than another selves let me give you an example of what I'm talking about plant cells for example it's a type of eukaryote it plant cells you know they make sugar what are the fun they have an organelle called a chloroplast that animal cells don't have because animal cells cannot make sugar from the Sun or say what about muscle cells in your body they need a lot of energy in order to do their function so actually muscle cells have a lot of a type of organelle mitochondria than some of your other human cells because they have to produce so much energy so the types of organelles and the quantity of them can very slightly because you've got these different cell functions that's it for the ameba sisters and we were mind you to stay curious
