Prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms

The document summarizes the key differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus surrounded by a nuclear membrane, have circular DNA, and are generally smaller than eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells contain a membrane-bound nucleus with nuclear membrane, linear DNA, and organelles like mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum. The document provides a table comparing characteristics such as cell size, cell wall composition, DNA content, organelles presence, and examples of each cell type.
