In response to How many more prokaryotes vs. posted by kellibr:Good question. Don't know the answer. There are several hundred different species of prokaryotes. With the amoeba and mites there may only be a few dozen eukaryotes.

Dr. Chamberlain,Thank you for getting back to me. I actually found my answer (in a place where I neglected to look, my lab book for my class!!).
We are composed of 10 to the 13th eukaryotic and 10 to the 14th procaryotic cells (Yannielli, 1998).
Again thank you for taking the time to respond to my post.
