Cheek cells are eukaryotic, meaning they have a membrane-bound nucleus which contains the cell's DNA. They also have other membrane-bound organelles, like mitochondria. Bacteria, including E. coli, are prokaryotic, meaning they lack a nucleus, and their DNA is contained withing a circular chromosome in the cytoplasm, and they lack other membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria.
