Verified step by step guidance

Understand the basic differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus, while eukaryotes do.

Recognize that not all prokaryotes and eukaryotes have cell walls. For example, animal cells (eukaryotes) do not have cell walls, while most prokaryotes do.

Identify that prokaryotes typically have circular DNA, whereas eukaryotes have linear DNA organized into chromosomes.

Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have ribosomes, which are essential for protein synthesis, although their structures differ slightly.

Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have plasma membranes, which serve as a barrier to protect the cell and regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
