Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
The structure of the cell that we have studied so far is that of a Eukaryotic cell. How is a Prokaryotic cell different from a Eukaryotic cell?
 
The main difference between these two cell types is that Prokaryotic cells do not have a nuclear membrane. The nuclear material consists of a single chromosome and lies in the cytoplasm. The nuclear region in the cytoplasm is called nucleoid. Membrane-bound organelles are absent. Prokaryotic cells are found in bacteria and cynobacteria (blue-green algae).
