DIFFERENCES BETWWEN EUKARIOTIC AND PROKARIOTIC CELLS

Marc García Carda9(1)

Prokariotic Cells

The prokariotic cells are simple cells and don’t have a nucleus. Their genetic material is floting inside the cytoplasm and their organelles only have one membrane. Mostly unicellular and are really old.

Eukariotic Cells

The eukariotic cells are more complex cells and have a nucleus. Their genetic material is inside the nucleus and all their organelles have a double membrane. Mostly multicellular and are relatively new compared to prokariotic cells.

PROKARIOTIC EUKARIOTIC

• Unicellular• No nucleus• Organelles with

one membrane• Really old and

simple

• Multicellular• Have nucleus• Organelles with

two membranes• Relatively new

and more complex
