I'm the prokaryotic cell



I'm the prokaryotic cell

For simple jobs I have a knack

I still house DNA

But a nucleus I do lack

 

I am the original

Creator of all cells

My structure is simple

No whistles or bells

 

I have been hanging around Earth

For 3.8 billion years plus

I don't have mitochondria

Or a golgi apparatus

 

I do have ribosomes

To make my protein

Only under the microscope

Can they closely be seen

 

I'm mainly bacteria

Like E. coli and such

And my cytoplasm

Isn’t filled with much

 

But my jobs are important

Just like the more advanced cells

Even though I am smaller

With no organelles

 

I'm the eukaryotic cell

I am much more complex

I'm larger and I made up

The first trees and the t-rex

 

My organelles are abundant

Mitochondria, ER-smooth and rough

I make proteins and ATP

Until I have enough

 

My nucleus at my center

To keep the DNA protected

I've multiplied through the years

From being naturally selected

 

I'm your plants and animals

From the biggest to the least

My simplest form

Is in everyday yeast

 

My mitochondria and chloroplasts

Have their own DNA

Because we ate them years ago

And they decided to stay

 

We make up all living things

Plants, protists and man

We’re the reason you'll end

And the reason you began
