Question 1

Prokaryotic cells

Answer 1

• without a nucleus e.g blue-algae / bacteria
• DNA free in the cytoplasm
• no membrane bound organelles
• ribosomes are small - free in the cytoplasm - ER
• cell wall includes peptidoglycan
• flagella are made of a single protein
• no mitosis or meiosis

Question 2

Eukaryotic cells

Answer 2

• with a nucleus
• DNA combined with protein in chromosomes
• have membrane bound organelles
• ribosomes are larger
• cell wall made of cellulose
• flagella complex and made of two protein
• both mitosis and meiosis happen
