• Prokaryotic Cells


  Small and simple
• Prokaryotic Cells


  • 0.1 to 5.0 µm in size
  • Unicellular
  • Nucleus is absent
  • Circular DNA
  • Single haploid (n) chromosome
  • Lack membrane- bound organelles
  • Reproduce both sexually and asexually
  • Cell division by binary fission
• Prokaryotic Cells


  • Bacteria
  • Archaea cells
• Eukaryotic Cells


  Large and complex
• Eukaryotic Cells


  • 10 to 100 µm in size
  • Unicellular or multicellular
  • Nucleus is present
  • Linear DNA
  • Have ribosomes
  • Paired diploid (2n) chromosome
  • Mostly reproduce sexually
  • Cell division by mitosis
• Eukaryotic Cells


  • Plant cells
  • Animal cells, including humans
• Similarities between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

  • Have cell membrane
