    Study Notes

    Cell Types

    • Prokaryotic cells are unicellular organisms that lack internal membrane-bound structures, including a nucleus.
    • Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and organelles, enclosed by a plasma membrane.
    • Organelles are like mini-organs for a cell, each carrying out specific jobs.
    • Bacteria cells are prokaryotic.
    • Plant and animal cells are eukaryotic.

    Similarities

    • Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have DNA.
    • Both have cytoplasm.
    • Both are enclosed by a cell membrane.

    Differences

    • Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
    • Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
    • Prokaryotic DNA is not protected within a nucleus. Eukaryotic DNA is protected within a nucleus.
