Prokaryote vs Eukaryote Lesson

Prokaryotes VS Eukaryotes

All cells fall into one of these two broad categories.

What does prokaryotic and eukaryotic mean?

• examples include bateria

• ​a simple, single-celled organism

• lack (do not have) a nucleus

• lack (do not have) membrane-bound organelles, like a mitochondria

• significantly smaller than eukaryotic cells

• DNA is circular floating in the cytoplasm

Prokaryotic Cells

• examples include plants, animals, and fungi

• ​Complex, multicellular organisms

• do have a nucleus

• do have membrane bound organelles like a mitochondria

• Large cells

• DNA is linear in the nucleus

Eukaryotic Cells

border the cell

​

ALL CELLS= both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain

​information for
