→Types of cells
Prokaryotic cells may also have specialized features such as [[flagellum]] and [[pili]]. Prokaryotic cells can also carry accessory DNA known as [[plasmids]] that code for functions such as antibiotic resistance or the metabolism of lactose. Plasmids are stored separately from the organism's [[genome]] and are shared between other prokaryotic cells.

There are two kinds of prokaryotic cells: eubacteria, or simply bacteria, and archaebacteria. Both eubacteria and archaebacteria have cell walls; however, peptidoglycan is present in only the cell walls of eubacteria. The presence and amount of peptidoglycan can be determined by Gram staining.
A eukaryotic cell is divided into a number of membrane bound compartments known as [[organelles]], each with its own structure and function. In a typical cell these components are:
