In the study of biology, cells are classified into two primary types: prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells, found in organisms like bacteria and archaea, lack a nucleus and do not contain chromosomes. Eukaryotic cells, present in animals and plants, possess a nucleus and typically contain multiple chromosomes. Understanding these differences is essential for grasping the fundamentals of cellular biology and the complexity of life forms. This knowledge lays the foundation for further exploration of cellular functions and interactions in living organisms.
