Sagot :

Answer:

Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack membrane-bound structures, the most noteworthy of which is the nucleus. Prokaryotic cells tend to be small, simple cells, measuring around 0.1-5 μm in diameter.

Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells have a nucleus and other organelles enclosed by a plasma membrane. Organelles are internal structures responsible for a variety of functions, such as energy production and protein synthesis.

Examples of prokaryotes

  • Bacteria and archaea

Examples of eukaryotes

  • Animals, plants, fungi, algae and protozoans are all eukaryotes.
