PROKARYOTES VS EUKARYOTES

PROKARYOTES

• Achaea & Bacteria Domains• Small, single-celled

organisms• No nucleus or other

membrane-bound organelles• Ranging from 0.25x

1.2 μm to 1.5x4μm

PROKARYOTES

EUKARYOTES

• Can be multicellular • Different

compartments that have their own job – organelles• Has a nucelus• Larger than

prokaryotes (animal nucleus approx. 5 μm)

EUKARYOTES

PROKARYOTE VS EUKARYOTE

Prokaryote

• Small, single cell• Nucleoid (circular

DNA)• Replication by binary

fission• Bacteria & Archaea

Eukaryote

• Larger, multicellular• Nucelus • Replication by mitosis• Eukarya• Plants & Animals

EUKARYOTIC DEVELOPMENT

PLANT CELLS

• Chloroplasts• Cell Wall• Vacuole

ANIMAL CELL

• Flagellum• Lysosome• Centriole
