Intro to Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Cells

Apuntes

• Subtopic: Differences Between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells When learning about the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, several key features can be highlighted: - **Cell Membrane**: Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have a plasma membrane. However, in eukaryotic cells, the membrane is a phospholipid bilayer with proteins and cholesterol. - **Cell Wall**: Prokaryotic cells often have a cell wall, which can contain peptidoglycans. In contrast, eukaryotic plant cells have a cell wall, but animal cells do not. - **Capsule**: Some prokaryotic cells have a capsule, whereas eukaryotic cells do not.
