eukaryotes

 1. Similarities and differences
EUKARYOTES SIMILARITIES prokaryotes

have a nucleus HAVE RIBOSOMES NO nucleus

have organelles HAVE DNA small and simple

can be unicellular or multicellular HAVE CRYPTOPLASM no organelles

have a cytoskeleton HAVE A CELL MEMBRANE very abundant

some have cIlia SOME HAVE FLAGELLA all are unicellular

cells have a sticky capsule

 CHARACTERISTICS OF EUKARYOTES
Eukaryotic cells have the nucleus A cell wall is the outermost layer
01 enclosed within the nuclear membrane. 04 of the eukaryotic cells.

The cell has mitochondria. The cells divide by a process called

02 05 mitosis.

Flagella and cilia are the locomotory organs The nucleus contains a single, linear DNA,
03 in a eukaryotic cell. 06 which carries all the genetic information.
 CHARACTERISTICS OF proKARYOTES
● Prokaryotes are exclusively unicellular ● Prokaryotes do not have membrane
01 organisms
04 bound organelles

● Prokaryotes have circular DNA ● Most prokaryotes are extremophiles

02 05

● Prokaryotes do not have a true nucleus, instead, their DNA occupies an irregularly-shaped
03 area (nucleoid)
