Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes
Prokaryotes
0.2-2.0 mm in diameter
No nuclear membrane
Flagella consists of two protein building blocks
Glycocalyx is present as a capsule or slime layer
Cell wall when present is chemically complex
Plasma Membrane has no carbohydrates and lacks sterols
Cytoplasm has no cytoskeleton or cytoplasmic streaming
Ribosomes are smaller in size
DNA arrangement is a single circular chromosome
Cell division uses Binary fission
Sexual reproduction consists of the transfer of DNA fragments only
Eukaryotes
10-100 mm in diameter
True nucleus
Flagella consists of multiple microtubules
Glycocalyx is present in some cells that lack a cell wall
Cell wall when present is chemically simple
Plasma Membrane has sterols and carbohydrates that serve as receptors
Cytoplasm has a cytoskeleton and cytoplasmic streaming
Ribosomes are larger in size
DNA arrangement is multiple linear chromosomes with histones
Cell division uses mitosis
Sexual reproduction involves meiosis
