There is a topic that I am having a hard time understanding. What is the difference between a Prokaryotic Cell and a Eukaryotic Cell? I know what we (humans) are made of Eukaryotic Cells and foreign cells (bacteria) are prokaryotic cells. What's confusing me is when my textbook talks about them both having a cell wall. Prokaryotic Cells have a complex polysaccharide peptoglycan cell wall along with its membranes. Then it states that Eukaryotic Cells also cell walls, they are just simple composed of cellulose. When I hear the words Cell Wall, I immediately think of plants cells, not bacteria and animal cells. In this situation, does the term cell wall have a different meaning? Maybe I am over thinking this. Just an FYI this is for Microbiology, feel free to go into detail.
