Contain DNA Contain nuclei Are surrounded by a cell membrane Were the first photosynthetic organisms on Earth Can be specialized for specific tasks in multicellular organisms

Prokaryotic:

Contain DNA - found in the cytoplasm as no nucleus present

Are surrounded by a cell membrane - no other double-membrane bound organelle present

Were the first photosynthetic organisms on Earth - cyanobacteria

Eukaryotic:

Contain DNA - present inside the nucleus

Are surrounded by a cell membrane - double-membrane organelle present

Can be specialized for specific tasks in multicellular organisms

contain nuclei - a central organelle present that separates genetic material from the cytoplasm.
