Study Notes
Cell Classification
- Cells can be classified into two groups: eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells, based on the presence or absence of a nucleus.
Eukaryotic Cells
- Contain a nucleus.
- Examples include plant and animal cells.
- Typically larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells.
Prokaryotic Cells
- Lack a nucleus.
- Examples include bacteria cells.
- Tend to be smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells.
Organisms
- Organisms made up of eukaryotic cells are called eukaryotes.
- Organisms made up of prokaryotic cells are called prokaryotes.
- Eukaryotes are often multicellular, while prokaryotes are often single-celled.
