Sagot :

Answer:

prokaryotic cells — e.g. Bacteria

eukaryotic cells — e.g. Animal/Plant cells

Prokaryotic Cells are unicellular organisms that don’t have a nucleus, but have their DNA unbound (or uncompressed) within the cells cytoplasm, they also have circular structures (or rings) called plasmids which carry additional Genetic Information.

Specific Example:  A bacterium is an example of a prokaryotic cell, and it has a cell wall, cell membrane, and even a capsule.

One feature that Eukaryotic cells have which Prokaryotic cells don’t is a Vacuole (this is just one feature).

Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells, have no nucleus, and don’t have organelles. Many also have a capsule or slime layer made of polysaccharide (ignore this word if you havent learn about it yet).
