Distinguishing Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes: Key Characteristics and Differences

This overview highlights the fundamental characteristics that differentiate prokaryotes from eukaryotes in microbiology. Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, are defined by their lack of a nuclear membrane, possessing a single circular chromosome, and they typically reproduce through binary fission. Their cell walls are primarily composed of polysaccharide peptidoglycan. In contrast, eukaryotes have DNA enclosed within a nuclear membrane, and they contain membrane-bound organelles, making them more complex. Understanding these differences is crucial for biological sciences.
