Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic Cells

Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic Cells

Prokaryote

• A prokaryotic cell has no nucleus or membrane bound organelle

• Pro means before

• The Archeabacteria and the Eubacteria kingdoms are made up of prokaryotes.

• The DNA of prokaryotes is found in the cytoplasm

• Ribosomes are the only organelle found in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells

• Prokaryotic cells are simple and not specialized

Eukaryote

• A eukaryotic cell has a nucleus and membrane bound organelles

• DNA of eukaryotes is found in the nucleus and makes up chromosomes

• Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have a ribosome and a plasma membrane

• Eukaryotic cells are more complex and specialized than prokaryotic cells

• An easy way to remember is : Eu (you) Kary (carry) a nucleus

• Eukayotics cell are found Protista, Fungi, Animalia, and Plantae

• Viruses are non living and are not made up of cells
