The video tutorial explains the differences between procaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Procaryotic cells lack a nucleus and have circular DNA, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and linear DNA. Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-covered organelles, allowing for complex processes, whereas procaryotic cells are simpler and reproduce quickly. The video also discusses the size differences and the types of organisms that contain these cells, such as bacteria for procaryotic and plants, animals, fungi, and protists for eukaryotic.
