Prokaryote and Eukaryote

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A prokaryote is a cell without a membrane-bound nucleus or organelles; a eukaryote is a cell with both.

Show

A bacterium's DNA floats free in the cell; an animal cell's DNA sits enclosed inside a membrane-bound nucleus.

Watch for

This course keeps prokaryote and eukaryote as the two locked terms for this split — no third category sits between them.
