Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic Cells definitions Flashcards

Cells lacking a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, typically unicellular and smaller in size.

Cells with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, can be unicellular or multicellular, and are larger in size.

Membrane-bound organelle in eukaryotic cells housing linear DNA.

Region in prokaryotic cells where circular DNA is located.

Cell structures responsible for protein synthesis, differing in size between cell types.

Simple cell division process in prokaryotic cells.

Complex cell division process in eukaryotic cells, involving cytokinesis.

Process following mitosis, dividing the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.

DNA structure found in prokaryotic cells.

DNA structure found in eukaryotic cells.

Structures within eukaryotic cells, absent in prokaryotic cells.

Smaller ribosomes found in prokaryotic cells.

Larger ribosomes found in eukaryotic cells.

Structure surrounding all cells, maintaining the cell's environment.

Essential molecules like carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids found in all cells.
