Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells

Cards (11)

  • Both animal and plant cells are eukaryotes.
  • Eukaryotic cells: contain their genetic material (DNA), enclosed in a nucleus.
  • Bacterial cells are prokaryotes.
  • Prokaryotic cells: the genetic material (DNA), is not enclosed in a nucleus.
  • Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells.
  • What are the features of a bacterial cell?


    Here it is with annotations.
  • What are the features of an animal cell?

    Here it is with annotations.
  • Organisms are made of cells which are the smallest unit with the basic properties of life.
  • Eukaryotes can be unicellular (consist of one cell) or multicellular (consist of many cells).
  • Prokaryotes (bacteria) are much smaller than eukaryotes and are always unicellular.
  • Both types of cells contain sub-cellular structures, that each have specific functions.
