prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

• eukaryotic cell example

  
• prokaryotic cell example

  
• eukaryotes have DNA enclosed in a nucleus
• prokaryotes do not have a nucleus, they have free DNA floating around the cytoplasm
• eukaryotes have membrane bound organelles and a defined nucleus

  
• prokaryotes have no organelles only ribosomes

  
• prokaryotic can be single or unicellular organisms and were the first life to exist on the planet and are smaller and simpler than eukaryotes.
• prokaryotes are always bacterial
• eukaryotes are plant and animal cells
• with eukaryotic cells it is easier to tell if it is an animal or a plant cell because a plant cell has organelles such as chloroplasts, a vacuole and a cell wall which are never found in plant cells
• prokaryotic cells have a cell wall or a tail meaning it needs to be looked at in detail to determine what type it is
• prokaryotes have plasmid DNA in the cytoplasm
• both prokaryotes and eukaryotes both have a cell membrane
• both pro and eukaryotes have a cell wall however only some types of euk have a cell wall
• both pro and eukaryotes have ribosomes
• read these that are used as a comparison in an exam question and yo would most likely only need to know 4 !!!
