Eukaryotes Versus Prokaryotes: Key Distinctions in Cell Structure and Function

The video tutorial explains the classification of life into eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, highlighting key differences such as membrane-bound structures, including the nucleus, mitochondria, and Golgi apparatus. It discusses the DNA structure in both cell types and provides examples of organisms in each category, such as bacteria, archaea, plants, and animals.

What is the primary structural difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?

• Presence of ribosomes

• Presence of chloroplasts

• Presence of a cell wall

• Presence of a membrane-bound nucleus

• Before the nut

• After the nut

• Nut or kernel

• Without a nut
