Probably both. Your cheek cells, which scrape off easily, are eukaryote. The mouth is full of symbiotic bacteria which are prokaryote.

Does a prokaryotic cell have a cell membrace?
Yes.Both Prokaryotic Cells and Eukaryotic Cells have an outer cell membrane.But, prokaryotic cells do not have membranes around their organelles (inside the cell), whereas eukaryotic cells do.
Which kindoms have only prokaryote type cells?
Viruses come in both prokaryotic an eukaryotic forms.
From where did eukaryotes evolve?
Unlike their cousin cells, the Prokaryotic cells, Eukaryotic cells bear a nucleus. They are found in animals, plants, fungi and protists. The presence of a nucleus gives these organisms their name, which comes from the Greek ευ (eu), meaning "good/true," and κάρυον (karyon), which means "kernal." Does that help at all?
Are human cheek cells are animal cells?
Generally Human Cheek cells (as with skin cells) are dead on the outermost layers, and still alive on the deeper layers. So the cheek cells are dead even before you take them out of your mouth.
Where are chloroplasts believed to have come from?
There is a theory that chloroplasts and mitochondrias were once a free living bacteria that came inside a eukaryotic cell and started a mutual relationship with the eukaryotic cell. The bacteria got to have a shelter, and in return, the eukaryotic is able to create more energy by mitochondrias, or be able to convert from co2 to o2. It is only a theory though.
What do prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cell have to do with the cell theory?
they both are cells... and only one has a nucleus..and one the eukaryotic cell the one that has a nucleus, evolves from the prokaryotic cell.... because the prokaryotic cell enters into the DNA casing of the early cell then more come making the eukaryotic cell.

In the word eukaryote what does the prefix eu stand for?
Eu stands for true and karyo stands for nucleus. This can be used to help remember the difference between a eukaryote and a prokaryote. The pro in prokaryote stands for before and again karyo stands for nulceus. So prokaryotic cells come before the eukaryotic cells. And Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus while prokaryotic cells DO NOT have a nucleus.
List three ways in which prokaryotic cells differ from eukaryotic cells?
1. Nucleus. The main difference is that eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not. That is really the meaning of the words prokaryotic (before nucleus) and eukaryotic (true nucleus). 2. Organelles. Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles and prokaryotic cells do not. I say membrane-bound organelles (mitochondrion, lysosomes) because both have ribosomes, which in come texts are considered organelles, but ribosomes are not membrane-bound (surrounded by a membrane). 3. Size. Eukaryotic cells are huge compared to prokaryotic cells. Most eukaryotic cells can be seen in detail with a simple light microscope. 4. Method of reproduction( cell division). Prokaryotic cells divide by binary fission and eukaryotic cells divide by mitosis or meiosis.
Is your cheek cells a prokaroyitic cell or eukaryotic cell?
A cheek cell is a eukaryote, also known as a eukaryotic cell, as it come from mammals which are animals which are in the domain Eukarya. Eukaryotes and prokaryotes differ in many ways. Eukaryotes have true nuclei (DNA with nuclear membrane) and membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotes lack many organelles, none of which are bound to the membrane. Eukaryotes appeared much later in geological history and are about 30 times larger.
Compare and contrast prokaryotic cells with eukaryotic cells?
There are a LOT of difference between a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic cell. However, there are some similarities too. Difference * For one, the eukaryotic is much larger in size compared to a prokaryotic cell. * Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells have only one organelle: the ribosomes. * Ribosomes look different in size and shape in prokaryotes than eukaryotes. * Eukaryotic has nucleus, the control center of the cell. This where the chromosomes (DNA) are stored in a double phospholipid membranes. The prokaryotic cell has, not a nucleus, but a space where the DNA is stored in a circular form called plasmids. * Prokaryotes are all unicellular. Eukaryotes, although most are multicellular, can be a unicellular organism. Similarities * They are both cells (a little obvious...) * Have cell membranes made of phospholipid chains with cholesterol and proteins crammed in between. * Both have ribosomes * Has DNA which controls how the organism acts, behaves, and looks.
Eukaryotes contain specialized structures that perform important cellular functionsthese structures are called?
There are many difference between Prokaryotic cells (Bacteria for example. ) and Eukaryotic cells (Cells from animal kingdom for example. ) In general Eukaryotic cells are more developed than prokaryotic cells in all cell organelles.
Is eukaryotic multicellular?
Your question needs a little bit of understanding of the facts. Organisms have cells that are either prokaryotic or eukaryotic. But prokaryotic cells don't form complex structures. They are found most of the time as one cell, sometimes are two together or a cluster or a string. Ex: the bacteria cocci, round-like, are found as just cocci (one) or two (dicocci) or a cluster (staphylococci) or a string (streptococci). So, eukaryotes are made of many cells that make tissues, organs, organ systems and organisms.
Is prokaryotic cell more complex or simple?
Cells come in two basic types prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes are simple compared to eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotes contain organelles like the nucleus, where as prokaryotes don't.
Are plastids eukaryotes or prokaryote?
Well, I have done a lot of research on this and as a conclusion I have come up with the answer of only prokaryotic, NOT eukaryotic. Many sites don't actually say which it is but I did find this bit of information saying it is prokaryotic. So, I would say: Prokaryotic. Hope this helped!-It is a difficult question.
