Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic 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.

• Have cell (plasma) membranes.

• Have membrane-bound organelles.

• Genetic material, or DNA, is contained within a nucleus.

• Have a membrane-bound nucleus.

• Chromosomes contain linear DNA.

• Chromosomes contain circular DNA.

• Have flagella for movement.

• Have cytoplasm.

• DNA is found in cytoplasm.
