Look at your table and answer the following questions:

a. What aspects do your examples have in common? I think that the most common one, is that
without any of these cells, life wouldn’t be how we known it today.
b. What aspects they don´t share? For example, that the prokaryotes are always unicellular, while
eukaryotes are often multi-celled organisms. Also, eukaryotic cells are exponentially larger in
comparison with the prokaryotic cells, adding that they are more complicated.
