There are two main cell types in nature, Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic. These cells types differ mainly by the fact that Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus while Eukaryotic cells do. Viruses, although they usually have a protein coat, are not considered cells.
Prokaryotic cells have a phospholipid membrane and no internal membranes. There are also differences in the DNA and ribosomes. There are two main types, Eubacteria and Archaebacteria. The Archaebacteria are quite different to the Eubacteria. They have a lipid membrane but it is usually a derivative of isoprenol. There are subunits in their ribosomes which also differ to all other bacteria. It has been suggested these two groups be separated into two distinct kingdoms.
Eukaryotic cells have a cell nucleus and other features such as mitochondria. In the Eukaryotes, the DNA is stored in the nucleus. Before protein synthesis the DNA pattern is first copied to precursurs for mRNA. Sections of RNA called introns are first removed using particles made partly of protein and partly of RNA. This is called cutting and splicing. From there it is passed on to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm for protein synthesis. This does not happen in the Prokaryotic cell.
Eukaryotic cells are then divided into several types depending on whether they are plants, animals, protists or fungi. Animals have only the mitochondria. Plants, on the other hand, have other organelles called plastids. These plastids all have the same DNA and membrane but exist in several forms such as chloroplasts responsible for photosynthesis and chromoplasts responsible for colour.

What two main differences separate prokaryotic cells from eukaryotic cells?
prokaryotes are bacteria cells and eukaryotes are plant and animal cells.
How does eukaryotic cell division differ from cell division in a prokaryotic cell?
eukaryotic cell division takes more time then prokaryotic as it contain nucleus and other cellular organallis which are lacking in prokaryotes. secondaly in eukaruotes in germ cells meosis occur which is not found in prokaryotes
Is plantae a eukaryote?
Yes, plantae is eukaryotic. To be a eukaryote means to have membrane-bound organelles. The main organelle that sets eukaryotes apart from prokaryotes is the nucleus, which is enclosed by a membrane known as the nuclear envelope. A prokaryote does not have a nucleus but instead has a nucleoid. Because plants have cells with nuclei and other membrane-bound organelles, they are eukaryotic.
Do Prokaryotes Have Membrane-bound Organelles?
no. prokaryotic cells do not have any membrane-bound structures. only Eukaryotic cells have them. Prokaryotes lack a nucleous, an endomembrane system (RER and SER), or any type of organelle (mitochindria/chloroplast). They are composed of a cytoplasmic membrane, a cell wall, a nucleiod (a circular genome), and ribosomes.
Examples of eukaryotes?
A eukaryote is an organism whose cells contain complex structures enclosed within membranes. The defining membrane-bound structure that sets eukaryotic cells apart from prokaryotic cells is the nucleus, or nuclear envelope, within which the genetic material is carried.[1][2][3] The presence of a nucleus gives eukaryotes their name, which comes from the Greek ευ (eu, "good") and κάρυον (karyon, "nut" or "kernel"). Most eukaryotic cells also contain other membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts and the Golgi apparatus. All species of large complex organisms are eukaryotes, including animals, plants and fungi, although most species of eukaryotic protists are microorganisms.
Is paramecium prakaryote or eukaryot?
Paramecium is a Eukaryotic cell, not a Prokaryotic cell
What two main differences separate prokaryotic cells from eukaryotic cells?
prokaryotes are bacteria cells and eukaryotes are plant and animal cells.
In which phase must everything line up before the cells can begin to split apart?
The Metaphase of mitosis in a eukaryotic cell. I don't know for prokaryotic and viruses don't. Also Metaphase in Meiosis 1 and 2.
Do Eukaryota's have specialized structures or internal compartments?
Eukaryotic cells do not all have the same internal structure. A Eukaryotic cell is essentially a complex cell, although the defining element element that sets in apart from prokaryotic cells is the existence of a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells include both plant and animal cells; both have very different organelles.
What are examples of characteristics?
Your hair color and your eye color. Those are just some examples!There are many different types of characteristics. These are details that allow people and things to stand apart from others. Examples of characteristics include loud, quiet, shy, outspoken, large, bold, humble, and blunt.

Cell division in prokaryotic cells?
When prokaryotic DNA is duplicated, both copies attach to the plasma membrane. As the plasma membrane grows, the attached DNA molecules are pulled apart. The cell completes fission, producing two new prokaryotic cells.
