Cells: Prokaryote vs Eukaryote
Cells have evolved two different
architectures:
• Prokaryote “style”
• Eukaryote “style”
Prokaryotic cells were here first and for billions
of years were the only form of life on Earth. All
prokaryotic organisms are unicellular
Eukaryotic cells appeared on earth long after
prokaryotic cells but they are much
advanced. Eukaryotic organisms
more
unlike
prokaryotic can be unicellular or multicellular.
Characteristics of Prokaryotes
• Prokaryotes are the simplest type of cell.
• Oldest type of cell appeared about four billion years
ago.
• Prokaryotes are the largest group of organisms
• Prokaryotes unicellular organisms that are found in
all environments.
• Prokaryotes do not have a nuclear membrane. Their
circular shaped genetic material dispersed
throughout cytoplasm.
• Prokaryotes do not have membrane-bound
organelles.
• Prokaryotes have a simple internal structure.
• Prokaryotes are smaller in size when compared to
Eukaryotes.
Shapes of Prokaryotes
• Cocci =
spherical
(round)
• Bacillus =
(rod
shaped)
• Spirilla =
helical
(spiral)
Characteristics of eukaryotes
• Eukaryotic cells appeared approximately one
billion years ago
• Eukaryotes are generally more advanced than
prokaryotes
• Nuclear membrane surrounds linear genetic
material (DNA)
• Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotes have several different
parts.
• Prokaryote’s organelles have coverings known as
membranes.
• Eukaryotes have a complex internal structure.
• Eukaryotes are larger than prokaryotes in size .

Differences
Prokaryotes
• Organelles lack a
membrane
• Ribosomes are the only
organelles
• Genetic material floats
in the cytoplasm (DNA
and RNA)
Eukaryotes
• Organelles covered by a
membrane
• Multiple organelles
including ribosomes
• Membrane covered
Genetic material
Prokaryotes
• Circular DNA
• Unicellular
• Cells are smaller in
size
• Has larger number of
organisms
• Appeared 4 billion
years ago
Eukaryotes
• Linear DNA
• May be multicellular or
unicellular
• Cells are larger in size
• Has smaller number of
organisms
• Appeared 1 billion years
ago
Similarities
• Both types of cells have
cell membranes (outer
covering of the cell)
• Both types of cells have
ribosomes
• Both types of cells have
DNA
• Both types of cells have a
liquid environment known
as the cytoplasm
Prokaryote cells are smaller and simpler
• Commonly known as bacteria
• 10-100 microns in size
• Single-celled (unicellular) or
• Filamentous (strings of single cells)
These are
prokaryote
E. coli bacteria on

pin.
Prokaryote cells are simply built (example: E.
coli)
• capsule: slimy outer
coating
• cell wall: tougher middle
layer
• cell membrane: delicate
inner skin
• cytoplasm: inner liquid filling
• DNA in one big loop
• pilli: for sticking to things
• flagella: for swimming
• ribosomes: for building
proteins
Prokaryote cells are simply built
(example: E. coli)
Prokaryote lifestyle
• unicellular: all
alone
• colony: forms a
film
• filamentous:
forms a chain of
cells
Prokaryote Feeding
• Photosynthetic: energy from sunlight
• Disease-causing: feed on living things
• Decomposers: feed on dead things
Eukaryotes are bigger and more
complicated
• Have organelles
• Have chromosomes
• can be multi-cellular
• include animal and plant cells
Organelles are membrane-bound
cell parts
• Mini “organs” that have
unique structures and
functions
• Located in cytoplasm
• Cell membrane
– delicate lipid and
protein skin
around cytoplasm
– found in all cells
Cell Structures
• Nucleus
– a membrane-bound sac
evolved to store the
cell’s
chromosomes(DNA)
– has pores: holes
• Nucleolus
– inside nucleus
– location of
ribosome factory
– made or RNA
• Mitochondrion
– makes the cell’s
energy
– the more energy the
cell needs, the more
mitochondria it has
• Ribosomes
– build proteins from
amino acids in
cytoplasm
– may be free-floating,
or
– may be attached to ER
– made of RNA
• Endoplasmic
reticulum
– may be smooth:
builds lipids and
carbohydrates
– may be rough: stores
proteins made by
attached ribosomes
• Golgi Complex
– takes in sacs of
raw material from
ER
– sends out sacs
containing
finished cell
products
• Lysosomes
– sacs filled with
digestive enzymes
– digest worn out cell
parts
– digest food absorbed
by cell
• Centrioles
– pair of bundled tubes
– organize cell division
Cytoskeleton
• made of
microtubules
• found throughout
cytoplasm
• gives shape to cell &
moves
Structures found in plant cells
• Cell wall
– very strong
– made of cellulose
– protects cell from
rupturing
– glued to other cells
next door
• Vacuole
– huge water-filled
sac
– keeps cell
pressurized
– stores starch
• Chloroplasts
– filled with
chlorophyll
– turn solar energy
into food energy

Eukaryote cells can be multicellular
• The whole cell can be specialized for one job
• cells can work together as tissues
• Tissues can work together as organs
Advantages of each kind of cell
architecture
Prokaryotes Eukaryotes
simple and easy to grow can specialize
fast reproduction Multi-cellularity
all the same can build large bodies
