Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The way a prokaryotic cell can be considered a ‘one-room apartment’ if a eukaryotic cell is like a house.

Introduction:

One of the major distinctions between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that the latter have organelles that are membrane-bound. The machinery of the cell, known as organelles, is responsible for tasks such as energy production and sorting. Organelles are structures that are found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. This is comparable to a house with several rooms, the majority of which serve a certain purpose.
