Eukaryotic vs. Prokaryotic


Definitions:
Prokaryotic - Cells that lack a membrane-bond nucleus.

Eukaryotic - Cells that have an enclosed membrane. 

Summary:
Knowing that the prefix "kary" meant nucleus, I wasn't surprised to find out what these 2 words meant. Prokaryotic cells don't have an enclosed membrane on the nucleus like eukaryotic cells do.

  1. Are there any other differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic other than just the nucleus?
