Comparing Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic

Eukaryotic

Larger cells

DNA is linear

Nucleus present-DNA inside

no cell wall in animals

many organelles mitochondria present

large ribosomes

Prokaryotic

Extremely small cells

DNA is circular

Cell wall made of polysaccharide

no mitochondria few organelles

smaller ribosomes
