Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

Compare prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

Prokaryotic: naked DNA (DNA in cytoplasm), no membrane-bound organelles (no mitochondria, ER, golg), only bacteria


Eukaryotic: true nucleus (DNA enclosed by nuclear membrane), many membrane-bound organelles (mitochondria, ER, golgi) to compartmentalize functions, all cells other than bacteria
