Eukaryotic Versus Prokaryotic Cells: Exploring Core Differences and Organelles

The video tutorial introduces the basic differences and similarities between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells are complex with membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus, mitochondria, and Golgi apparatus, and are found in kingdoms such as Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Prokaryotic cells, mainly bacteria, lack a nucleus and most organelles, making them simpler and smaller. Both cell types share features like a plasma membrane, DNA, ribosomes, and cytoplasm. The endosymbiosis theory suggests eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes. The video concludes with acknowledgments.
