Differences Between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

The video explains modern cell theory, highlighting that all living things are made of cells. It distinguishes between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, noting their similarities and differences. Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles and can be unicellular or multicellular, while prokaryotic cells are simpler, lack a nucleus, and are always unicellular. The video also discusses the diversity of bacteria and archaea, which are prokaryotes, and the various types of eukaryotes, including plants, animals, and fungi.
