What are the two types of cells?
Although cells have some basic parts in common, there are some
important differences. The way that cells store their DNA is the
main difference between the two cell types.
Prokaryotic
A prokaryote (proh-KAIR-ee.oht) is a single-
celled organism that does not have a nucleus or
membrane-bound organelles. Its DNA is located
in the cytoplasm. Prokaryotic cells contain
organelles called ribosomes that do not have a
membrane. Some prokaryotic cells have hairlike
structures called flagella that help them move.
Prokaryotes, which include all bacteria and
archaea, are smaller than eukaryotes.

Eukaryotic
A eukaryote (yoo.KAIR.ee oht) is an organism
made up of cells that contain their DNA in a
nucleus. Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-
bound organelles, as well as ribosomes. Not
all eukaryotic cells are the same. Animals,
plants, protists, and fungi are eukaryotes. All
multicellular organisms are eukaryotes. Most
eukaryotes are multicellular. Some eukaryotes,
such as amoebas and yeasts, are unicellular.
