This document summarizes the key differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells lack a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles, have circular DNA or plasmids instead of chromosomes, are generally unicellular, and are smaller than eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles, multiple linear chromosomes, can be uni- or multicellular, and are larger than prokaryotic cells. The document provides examples of organisms for each cell type and describes differences in cell structures.













Introduction of the presenter, Muhammad Kamil Khan, and the subject of Kame Biology.
Overview of diagrammatic differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Defines prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells; prokaryotes lack a true nucleus, while eukaryotes have one.
Eukaryotes consist of eukaryotic cells; prokaryotes consist of prokaryotic cells.
Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and multiple chromosomes; prokaryotic cells have plasmids.
Eukaryotic cells can be multicellular (humans, plants) or unicellular (protozoa); prokaryotes are primarily unicellular (bacteria).
Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles; prokaryotic cells do not.
Both cell types have a cell membrane; eukaryotic cells may have cell walls (plants, fungi), but prokaryotes have complex walls.
Eukaryotic ribosomes are larger (80s) compared to prokaryotic ribosomes (70s).
Eukaryotic cells range from 10-100 micrometers; prokaryotic cells range from 1-10 micrometers.
Eukaryotic flagella have a complex structure (9+2 arrangement); prokaryotic flagella are simpler.
Examples include animals and plants for eukaryotic cells; and bacteria and archaea for prokaryotic cells.
