Is Bacteroides fragilis an example of prokaryote or a eukaryote? Explain the difference?

Bacteroides fragilis is a species classified under the
genome bacteria. Bacteria have prokaryotic cell
types.


Prokaryotic cells are approximately one hundredth
the size of eukaryotic cells. They do not have any cell organelles enclosed by membranes
including the nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus enclosed by a membrane and there
are other cell organelles bound by membranes also present in their
cells.


Prokaryotic cells have a cell wall and it is quite
complex in nature; eukaryotic cells usually do not have a cell wall. The flagella of
prokaryotic cells consists of only two protein blocks and is simple as compared to
eukaryotic cells.


Reproduction in prokaryotic cells is by
binary fission whereas eukaryotic cells undergo mitosis.
