1. Prokaryotes are organisms whose cells do not contain a nucleus or membrane bound organelles. Instead their DNA forms a circular loop and floats freely in the center of the cells cytoplasm. Prokaryotes are unicellular meaning they complete all life's functions within that one cell. They have simple cells because they can preform less tasks than eukaryotes. Bacteria are the only group of living things that have prokaryotic cells. They are the oldest organism on the Earth.
Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells do have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles that are specialized to make the organism. Eukaryotes can be unicellular or multicellular. Eukaryotes are the most complex cells because they can preform more tasks than bacteria. All other groups of living things such as protists, fungi, plants, and animals all have eukaryotic cells. They are extremely diverse and vary in the ways that they move, obtain nutrients, and reproduce.
2. The eubacteria and archaebacteria kingdoms have prokaryotic cells, while the fungi, protista, planti, and anamalia kingdom have eukaryotic cells.
Below, on the left, is a picture of an organism known as streptococci from the eubacteria kingdom. Below, on the right, is a picture of an organism known as haloarchaea from the archaebacteria kingdom.
