Compare prokaryotes with eukaryotes. Give an example of each type of cell.?

Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotes can be unicellular or multicellular and possess a defined nucleus and organelles. An example of a prokaryote is Escherichia coli (E. coli), a common bacterium, while an example of a eukaryote is Saccharomyces cerevisiae, also known as baker's yeast. Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller and simpler in structure compared to the more complex eukaryotic cells.
