Cellular Biology: Prokaryotic Cells & Beyond

The provided context does not contain information about other cell types. Prokaryotic cells (bacteria, archaea) lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells (plants, animals, fungi, protists) possess a nucleus and organelles (mitochondria, ER, Golgi, etc.).

Key differences: size (prokaryotes 1–5 µm, eukaryotes 10–100 µm), DNA organization (circular vs. linear chromosomes), reproduction (binary fission vs. mitosis/meiosis), and internal complexity.
