3.1.3 Comparison of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

• Prokaryotic cells are simple cells that lack a true nucleus
• Where is the genetic material located in prokaryotic cells?

  Nucleoid region
• Prokaryotic cells contain circular DNA plasmids.
• Eukaryotic cells are complex cells with a true nucleus
• What form is the genetic material in eukaryotic cells?

  Linear DNA chromosomes
• Prokaryotic cells range in size from 0.1 to 5 μm.
• What is an example of a prokaryotic cell?

  coli
