Prokaryotic Cells and Eukaryotic Cells

What is different about prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Prokaryotic cells make up all plants and eukaryotic cells make up all animals.

• Eukaryotic cells have ribosomes and prokaryotic cells do not.

• Prokaryotic cells don’t have a cell membrane and eukaryotic cells do.

• Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not.

Which of the following is a characteristic of both Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells?

• ribosomes

• nucleus

• membrane bound organelles

• simple

Which type of cell?
