Types of Cell
4
Prokaryotic Cells
Chromosomal DNA
Plasmid DNA
Ribosome
Flagellum
Cytoplasm
Capsule
8
Prokaryotic Cells
6. Cell wall consists of peptidoglycan to protects the
cell and give shape.
Circular DNA
• Lies freely in the
cytoplasm
Plasmid
• Smaller ring
• Independently
replicating DNA
11
Prokaryotic Cells
8. Flagella lacks 9+2 arrangement of microtubule
which functioned for movement
12
Prokaryotic Cells
9. Surrounded by capsule.
Polysaccharide or protein coating secreted
outside the cell wall for additional protection.
13
Prokaryotic Cells
10.Pili/Fimbriae (hair-like structures on the cell
surface) which functioned for attachment to other
cell/ surface and sex pilus is used to exchange
genetic material during conjugation.

Prokaryotic Cells
mesosome
15
Eukaryotic Cells
2. Large in size
(Diameter: 10 – 100µm)
16
Eukaryotic Cells
4. Distinct nucleus (Genetic material is enclosed
by a nuclear membrane)
Animal cell
Plant cell 17
Eukaryotic Cells
5. Cell division by mitosis and meiosis.
6. Cell wall composed of cellulose in plant or
chitin in fungi.

Eukaryotic Cells
7. Flagella have 9+2 arrangement of microtubule
which functioned for movement

Eukaryotic Cells
8. Linear DNA associated with histone protein
Histone

Differences between
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.
Prokaryote Eukaryote
Generally smaller in size. Generally larger in size.
*Diameter (1μm - 5µm) *Diameter (10 – 100µm)
Cell division by binary fission Cell division through mitosis
or meiosis
• No distinct nucleus, • A distinct membrane-
nucleoplasm with no nuclear enclosed nucleus.
envelope.
• Genetic materials lies free in • Genetic materials enclosed in
cytoplasm (nucleoid) nucleus

Differences between
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.
Prokaryote Eukaryote
No membrane-bound Membrane-bound organelles
