  • 3.2 Cells
    • Eukaryotes
      • Has a nucleus, linear chromosomes
      • have 80s ribosomes
      • the cell wall is mad of cellulose in plants, chitin in moulds and mannose in yeasts
      • Unlike prokaryotes, Eukaryotes do not contain plasmids
      • the cell size is roughly 20-40 nm. Much larger than Prokaryotes
    • Prokaryotes
      • E.g Bacteria
      • Have no nucleus
      • have circular chromosomes
      • Have no membrane bound organelles
      • have 70 s Ribosomes
      • The cell wall is made of Murein
      • May contain plasmids
      • the cell is much smaller than eukaryotes. are 1-10nm
    • Viruses
      • are acellular and non-living
      • are usually less than 0.2 micro metres
      • mostly parasitic
