    This document discusses cell biology, specifically comparing prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are small without internal compartments, with a plasma membrane regulating traffic and a nucleoid region containing DNA. Most prokaryotic cells also have a cell wall providing structural support and shape. Special features of some prokaryotic cells include cyanobacteria containing chlorophyll, membrane folds, mesosomes for energy production, and flagella or actin-like filaments for movement.
