No nucleus, but still has DNA
No membrane bound organelle
Has ribosomes to make protein
Less complex

Plants, animals, fungi, protists
Nucleus & mitochondria
Membrane bound organelle
Larger; more complex

Rod, spherical, and spirochetes (twisty)
Pili
To help a prokaryotic cell stick to other organelles
Nucleiotoid
Roeigon where the cell’s DNA is located
Ribosomes
Makes protein synthesis
Cell wall
It separates the interior contents of the cell from the exterior environment.
Plasma membrane
To transport things inside the cell and to regulate what goes in and out of the cell
Capsule
