What’s on the Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes poster
Prokaryotic against Eukaryotic, side by side.
- Prokaryotic: No nucleus — DNA in the nucleoid
- Prokaryotic: No membrane-bound organelles
- Prokaryotic: Circular DNA, often plus plasmids
- Prokaryotic: 70S ribosomes
- Prokaryotic: 1–10 µm
- Prokaryotic: Bacteria and archaea
- Eukaryotic: True nucleus with a membrane
- Eukaryotic: Mitochondria, ER, Golgi, lysosomes
- Eukaryotic: Linear DNA on chromosomes
- Eukaryotic: 80S ribosomes
- Eukaryotic: 10–100 µm
- Eukaryotic: Animals, plants, fungi, protists
- Endosymbiotic theory: mitochondria and chloroplasts were once free-living prokaryotes…
Antibiotics that target 70S ribosomes kill bacteria without harming human 80S ribosomes. That difference is the drug target.

- Who is the Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes poster for?
- Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes belongs to the Biology section rather than to a school year, because life science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning cell biology can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes poster?
- A nucleus is the headline difference. Membrane-bound organelles are the real one. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes belongs on the wall where that life science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes?
- Cell Cycle Control, Differentiation and The Cell Membrane sit alongside Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes in the Biology section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Cell Cycle ControlDifferentiationThe Cell Membrane
- Is the Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Biology section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes poster print at?
- Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes loses nothing.Printing guide
