Comparison Of Cells

Prokaryotes V.S. Eukaryotes

  • Prokaryotes

    • Before kernel” - no nucleus
    • No internal membrane-bound compartments
    • Single-celled organisms
    • No cytoskeleton
    • Has Ribosomes

  • Eukaryotes

    • “True kernel or nucleus”- has nucleus.
    • Organelles bound by membrane with specific functions
    • Single or multi-cellular organisms

  • Both

    • DNA/RNA
    • Flagella
    • Cell Membrane
    • Ribosomes
    • Cytoplasm

   

Plant V.S. Animal

  • Plant

    • Don’t have centrioles
    • Tend to have larger Vacuoles
    • Has Cell Wall
    • Has Chloroplast

  • Animal

    • Don’t have chloroplast
    • Don’t have a cell wall
    • Has centrioles

  • Both

    • Cell Membrane
    • Mitochondrion
    • Ribosomes
    • Endoplasmic Reticulum
    • Nuclear Membrane
    • Nucleus
    • Chromosomes
    • Vacuole
    • Golgi Apparatus
    • Cytoplasm
    • Flagellum (present in many animal cells and plant reproductive cell)
