🔬 Types of Cells: Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic
Figure 3: Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic cell structure
| Feature | Prokaryotic Cells | Eukaryotic Cells |
|---|---|---|
| Nucleus | No true nucleus - genetic material free in cytoplasm | True nucleus enclosed by nuclear membrane |
| Size | Smaller (1-5 μm) | Larger (10-100 μm) |
| Organelles | No membrane-bound organelles | Many membrane-bound organelles |
| Examples | Bacteria, Archaea | Animal cells, Plant cells, Fungi, Protists |
