Eukaryotic cells have membrane bound nucleus and other organelles, while prokaryotic lacks these and has DNA free in the cytoplasm.
Prokaryotic properties:
* Nucleoid region - circular dna not wrapped in membranes
* Nucleoid region - circular DNA not wrapped in membranes
* Ribosomes - protein making structures that are smaller than eukaryotic ribosomes
* Plasmids - small rings of extra dna separate from the main chromosome
* Plasmids - small rings of extra DNA separate from the main chromosome
* Inclusion bodies - storage for nutrients
* Thylakoid membrane - in photosynthetic bacteria, membranes that capture light

* Nucleus - hold and protect dna

* Mitochondria - site of aerobic cellular respiration
* Chloroplast - site of photosynthesis
* Endoplasmic reticulum - protein and lipid synthesis, as well as transportation

## Evidence for Endosymbiosis
Strongest evidence is that chloroplast and mitochondria look like the bacteria they came from.
* mitochondria and chloroplast carry their own dna, and it's circular like the bacteria
* mitochondria and chloroplast carry their own DNA, and it's circular like the bacteria
* both have double membranes, one from the original prokaryotic cells and another for when the plasma engulfed it.
* same size as bacteria and split seperately from rest of cell
* same size as bacteria and split separately from rest of cell
* ribosomes are more like bacteria ribosomes than the host cell ribosomes
* some make their own proteins
