Study Notes
Prokaryotic Cells
- Prokaryotic cells lack a nuclear envelope and membrane-bound organelles.
- Size range of bacterial cells typically varies from 0.2 to 10 micrometers in diameter.
- Prokaryotic cells include bacteria and archaea, which are unicellular organisms.
Eukaryotic Cells
- Eukaryotic cells have distinct nuclei that are surrounded by nuclear membranes.
- Organisms with eukaryotic cells include animals, plants, fungi, and protists, encompassing a wide range of multicellular and unicellular forms.
Cell Division
- Prokaryotic cells usually reproduce through binary fission, a straightforward method of cell division where one cell splits into two identical cells.
