Prokaryotes Eukaryotes  Prokaryotes Membrane Bound Dna Murein Cell Differences

Prokaryotic cells differ from eukaryotic cells by lacking membrane-bound organelles, having smaller ribosomes, naked DNA in the cytoplasm, murein cell walls, often possessing plasmids and capsules, and sometimes flagella.

- prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles, eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles - prokaryotes have smaller ribosomes, eukaroytes have larger ribosomes - prokaryotes have naked DNA free in the cytoplasm, eukaryotes have DNA associated with histones in the nucleus - prokaryotes have murein cell walls, eukaryotes do not have murein cell walls - prokaryotes have plasmids, eukaryotes do not - prokaryotes may have a capsule, eukaryotes do not - prokaryotes may have flagella, eukaryotes do not
