  10-100 micrometres
• What organelles are found in all eukaryotic cells?

  Nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, cytoplasm, cell membrane
• What additional organelles do plant cells have compared to animal cells?

  Cell wall, vacuole, chloroplasts
• What do prokaryotic cells lack compared to eukaryotic cells?

  Membrane-bound organelles
• How do the sizes of prokaryotic cells compare to eukaryotic cells?

  Prokaryotic cells are approximately 10 times smaller
• What is the genetic material in prokaryotic cells called?

  Plasmids or larger loops
• How do prokaryotic ribosomes compare to eukaryotic ribosomes?

  Prokaryotic ribosomes are smaller
• What distinguishes eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic cells in terms of structure?

  Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles
