Hi there.

PROKARYOTIC CELLS

Prokaryotic cells are  small and less complex. Prokaryotic cells are further distinguished by the absence of membrane-bound cell organelles, such as a nucleus. Binary fission is the mechanism for reproduction.

Prokaryotes are organisms that are completely encased in a capsule that serves as a protective covering. This is essential for stopping the phagocytosis process (where the bacteria gets engulfed by other eukaryotic cells, such as macrophages) Most prokaryotes have an exterior surface called the pilus, which resembles hair and aids the cell in attaching to varied surroundings. The pilus is also known as an attachment pili since it effectively resists being flushed. It frequently occurs in bacteria.


EUKARYOTIC CELLS

The Greek words "eu," which means "good," and "karyon," which means "kernel," are combined to form the phrase "eukaryotes," which means "good or real nuclei." Prokaryotes are substantially smaller and less complicated than eukaryotes. All except one of the main kingdoms are represented by them.

Eukaryotes are structurally made up of a cell wall that supports and shields the plasma membrane. The plasma membrane, which encircles the cell, regulates the entry and departure of certain chemicals.

DNA, which is responsible for housing all genetic data, is found in the nucleus. The nuclear membrane encloses the nucleus.
