* Prokaryotes: These are single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
* Bacteria are a type of prokaryote.
* Eukaryotes: These are organisms whose cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
* Plants and animals are both eukaryotes.
Here's a simple table to visualize:
| | Prokaryote | Eukaryote |
|---|---|---|
| Has a Nucleus | No | Yes |
| Has Membrane-Bound Organelles | No | Yes |
| Examples | Bacteria | Plants, Animals, Fungi, Protists |
So, to answer your question directly:
* Bacteria are prokaryotes.
* Plant cells are eukaryotes.
* Animal cells are eukaryotes.
