Can you guys please help me fix this

Instructions: Review the content in Chapter 3 of the textbook and prepare a table or diagram that compares the components and characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Be sure to include both (1)similarities- characteristics in common and (2) differences- characteristics unique to each cell type.

My project:

Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

Similarities between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic :

- Both are made of cells.

- Cell is covered by a lipid bilayer membrane

- Both reproduce and multiply for grows

- Their genetic material is either DND or RNA

Differences:

Prokaryote eukaryote

absent

nucleus

present

smaller

ribosome

larger

Fold and condense prokaryotic dna

dna

Wrap their dna around proteins called histones

absent

Membrane bound organelle

present

absent

chloroplast

present

Absent

mitochondria

present

My teachers notes :

Both cell types have cytoplasm.

Be specific and include a list of membrane bound organelles in eukaryotic cells.
