2. a) What is a difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? b) What is one significant similarity?…
But not all cells are alike. Cells come in many shapes and sizes and perform various functions, depending on where they are found (Infographic 3.2). Moreover, they fall into two fundamentally different categories: prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells are relatively small and lack internal membrane-bound compartments, called organelles. Eukaryotic cells, by contrast, are much larger and contain many such organelles.…
Nucleus: The genetic control center of a eukaryotic cell. (Brain) Controls all the cell’s action and stores the DNA information. The nucleus is where the ribosomes are made.…
Eukaryotic have tangled DNA and they have a nucleus. They have a multicellular cell type and they have a true membrane bound nucleus and they depend on oxygen for their metabolism. They are larger in size.…
2. The two most fundamentally different kind of cells are eukaryotic cells, each of which has its primary complement of DNA enclosed inside a membrane-lined nucleus: and prokaryotic cells, whose DNA is not enclosed within this structure.…
Prokaryotes refer to organisms with a cell nucleus or organelles that are membrane-bound. Some prokaryotes are multicellular while others are unicellular. Eukaryotes, on the other hand, refer to organisms whose cytoskeleton and internal membranes organize them into complex structures.…
Eukaryotes are cells that contain nuclei. They contain a nucleus in which their genetic material is…
14. Eukaryotes have a nucleus with genetic information inside them and are more complex than prokaryotes which have free floating genetic information and no nucleus.…
Eukaryotic cells are characterized by a lack of a distinct nucleus, whereas prokaryotic cells have intracellular compartments bordered by membranes and a well-defined nucleus.…
The three differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are: Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus inside their cells, while prokaryotic cells have genetic material condensed in a nucleoid region. Organelles such as mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, chloroplast, and endoplasmic reticulum are present in eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic don’t have. However, the mitochondria and chloroplasts found in eukaryotic cells have larger ribosomes as compared to the ribosomes found in prokaryotic cells.…
The term ‘eukaryote’ means “true nucleus” because it has a nucleus not a nucleoid like the prokaryotes.…
All living things are made of cells, and cells are the smallest units that can be alive. Life on Earth is classified into five kingdoms, and they each have their own characteristic kind of cell. However the biggest division is between the cells of the prokaryote kingdom (the bacteria) and those of the other four kingdoms (animals, plants, fungi and protoctista), which are all eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells, and do not have a nucleus.…
1. There are two main types of cells, prokaryotic and eukaryotic. The connection between the two can be seen right from their prefixes, pro meaning before and eu meaning true or good. This is because prokaryotic cells are before a nucleus and eukaryotic cells possess a true nucleus. This has led to many theories that eukaryotic cells have evolved from prokaryotes. The evidence for this is most noticeable in the structure of the cells, which will be compared below.…
Similarities - Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, goes through cell division; have the main organelles for protein synthesis…
There are two different types of cells, there are prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Within eukaryotes there are different structures and similar structures. For example; in a plant cell they have a nucleus, mitochondria an ER, and a Golgi body. These are the same as animal cells; however they differ because plants cells have a cellulose cell wall, chloroplasts, large central vacuole and they use starch for storage whereas an animal cell has lysosomes, rough ER, smooth ER and ribosomes. Eukaryotes differ from prokaryotes because prokaryotes have no nucleus, they just have a loop of DNA and they also have no membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotes also have a cell wall, along with a slime capsule, flagellae and plasmids.…
