Prokaryotes such as bacteria and blue green algae have diffuse nuclei without nuclear membranes or nucleoli, replicate through binary fusion, and lack membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotes including animals, plants, fungi and parasites have well-defined nuclei with nuclear membranes and nucleoli, replicate through mitosis and meiosis, and have membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria and ribosomes that are larger than those of prokaryotes.
