cytoplasm — Both
(present in prokaryotes and eukaryotes)
golgi bodies — Eukaryotic only
(membrane-bound organelle in eukaryotic cells)
dna — Both
(genetic material in both; organization differs: circular chromosomes common in prokaryotes, linear chromosomes + histones in eukaryotes)
centrosome — Eukaryotic only (mainly animal cells)
(centrioles/centrosomes occur in many animal cells; plant cells have other microtubule-organizing centers)
lysosome — Eukaryotic only
(membrane-bound digestive organelles found in eukaryotes)
chloroplast — Eukaryotic only
(photosynthetic organelle in plants and algae)
smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum — Eukaryotic only
(membrane-bound ER is a eukaryotic feature)
plasmid — Mostly prokaryotic (but can occur in some eukaryotes)
(common in bacteria; some yeasts and organelles can carry plasmid-like DNA)
nucleus — Eukaryotic only
(membrane-bound nucleus defines eukaryotes)
mitochondria — Eukaryotic only
(organelle for respiration in eukaryotes; of bacterial origin)
vacuole — Eukaryotic mainly
(large membrane-bound vacuoles are eukaryotic; prokaryotes may have non-membrane inclusions or gas vesicles)
cell membrane — Both
(plasma membrane present in all cells)
ribosomes — Both
(present in both; sizes differ: 70S in prokaryotes, 80S in eukaryotes)
capsule — Mostly prokaryotic (but some eukaryotic microbes can have capsules)
(bacterial polysaccharide capsule common; some fungi/yeasts also produce capsules)
cell wall — Both (composition differs)
(bacteria have peptidoglycan; plants have cellulose; fungi have chitin; some eukaryotes lack cell walls)
