What is eukaryotes and prokaryotes?

Eukaryotes and prokaryotes are two types of cells that make up all living organisms.

Eukaryotes are cells that have a true nucleus, which contains the cell's genetic material (DNA). They also have other membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. Eukaryotic cells are typically larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells.

Prokaryotes, on the other hand, are cells that do not have a true nucleus. Their genetic material is located in a region of the cell called the nucleoid, which is not enclosed by a membrane. Prokaryotic cells also lack membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells are typically smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells.

Examples of eukaryotes include plants, animals, fungi, and protists, while examples of prokaryotes include bacteria and archaea.
