Answer:

Cells of bacteria are called prokaryotic cells.

Cells of animals, plants and fungi are called eukaryotic cells.

Eukaryotic cell

  • Cell membrane - surrounded by cell wall in plants and fungi
  • Has Cytoplasm, cell organelles include mitochondria, chloroplasts in plants and ribosomes
  • DNA in a nucleus - plasmids are found in a few simple eukaryotic organisms

Prokaryote cell

  • Cell membrane - surrounded by cell wall
  • Has Cytoplasm, ribosomes, no mitochondria or chloroplasts
  • DNA is a single molecule, found free in the cytoplasm - additional DNA is found on one or more rings called plasmids
