Plant and animal cells (eukaryotic cells) have a cell membrane, cytoplasm and genetic material enclosed in a nucleus. Bacterial cells (prokaryotic cells) are much smaller in comparison. They have cytoplasm and a cell membrane surrounded by a cell wall. The genetic material is not enclosed in a nucleus. It is a single DNA loop and there may be one or more small rings of DNA called plasmids.
What cells are Eukaryotes?
Animal and Plant Cells
What does the nucleus contain?
Genetic Material
What is the definition of Eukaryotic cells?
Contains their genetic material enclosed in a nueclus
What cells are Prokaryotic?
bacterial cell, they are much smaller and simpler
What is the definition of a Prokaryotic cell?
the genetic material is not enclosed in a nucleus
What is the genetic material of a bacteria cell?
small rings of DNA called plasmids, single circular strand of DNA, cell wall, cell membrane and cytoplasm
