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
