Prokaryote and eukaryote cells, artwork C016 / 6259
Prokaryote and eukaryote cells. Computer artwork comparing typical prokaryotic (top) and eukaryotic (bottom) cells. Prokaryotes are organisms whose cells lack a membrane-bound nucleus (karyon, orange, round), whereas eukaryotes are those whose cells do have a nucleus. Most prokaryotes are unicellular organisms, such as the bacteria and archaea, whereas the eukaryotes make up most of the rest of life on Earth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Prokaryote and eukaryote cells" beautifully captures the intricate structures of two fundamental types of cells. Created by GUNILLA ELAM, this computer-generated illustration showcases a side-by-side comparison between typical prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The top portion of the image depicts a prokaryotic cell, characterized by its absence of a membrane-bound nucleus. Prokaryotes, such as bacteria and archaea, are predominantly unicellular organisms that play vital roles in various ecosystems. The orange round shape represents the karyon or nucleus found in eukaryotes but absent in prokaryotes. In contrast, the bottom part exhibits a eukaryotic cell with its distinct feature - a membrane-bound nucleus. Eukaryotes encompass most life forms on Earth apart from prokaryotes. This diverse group includes plants, animals, fungi, and protists. Both cells are meticulously illustrated against a white background to emphasize their anatomical details. From organelles like flagella to cytoplasmic structures and cell walls unique to each type; this artwork provides an insightful visual representation for studying cellular biology. Gunilla Elam's masterpiece not only highlights the contrasting features between these two cell types but also underscores their significance within taxonomy and microbiology studies. This print serves as an invaluable educational resource for students and researchers alike who seek to delve into the fascinating world of cellular anatomy and function.
