Does organelles allow eukaryotic cells to carry out more functions than prokaryotic cells?

Yes, the amount of organelles will differ in cells depending on their function. For example, muscle cells will have more mitochondria to provide more energy. Some organelles will just be larger; for example, the smooth ER is responsible for detoxification. There will only be one smooth ER unit in every cell, but cells involved in detox like liver cells will have a larger smooth ER.

∙ 11y agoYes, they are more specialized than Prokaryote cells because they have membrane bound organelles and have the endomembrane system while prokaryotes have no nucleus or membrane bound organelles.

Is organelles in plant cells or animal cells?
Organelles are found in both plant and animal cells. They are the "little organs" within cells that allow the cell to carry out particular functions.
The eukaryotic cell has multiple membrane-enclosed compartments This evolutionary innovation provides what advantage to the cell?
The different membrane-enclosed spaces allow different parts of the cell to perform specific functions.
How do cells and organelles contribute to complexity in an organism?
Cells are the basic building blocks of organisms, and their different functions and interactions contribute to overall complexity. Organelles within cells, such as the mitochondria, nucleus, and endoplasmic reticulum, perform specialized functions that are crucial for the cell's survival. The coordination and cooperation of these organelles within cells allow for complex processes such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction, ultimately contributing to the complexity of the organism as a whole.
What are the organelles of the cell and give it function?
organelles are considered the pets of the cells. they bring them joy and allow the cells to properly function.
Membrane surrounding nucleus and organelles?
The membrane surrounding the nucleus is called the nuclear membrane or nuclear envelope. It separates the contents of the nucleus, including the DNA, from the rest of the cell. Organelles, such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, also have their own membranes that enclose their contents and allow them to perform specific functions within the cell.
What is the function of cilia and the flagella and where are they found?
Flagella is the tail-like piece connected to the Cell Body of certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and it functions in locomotion. The Cilia is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells that also project from the cell body. In Eukaryotic Cells the Cilia and Flagella make up a group of organelles called the undulipodia and the Cilia and Flagella are structurally similar.
What are the difference between a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
A. Prokaryotic : Cell wall comprised of peptidoglycan Selectively permeable cytoplasmic membrane Rigid cell wall + outer membrane (Gram-neg) Protective capsule or slime layer External flagella or pili projections Single copy of chromosomal DNA; DNA is super coiled and circular Intracellular chromosomal and plasmid DNA Intracellular storage and gas vesicles (granules) Membrane bound organelles are absent Internal endospores in Clostridium and Bacillus sp. Nucleus not present 70S (cytoplasmic) ribosomes present as unbound forms B. Eukaryotic: Cell wall only present in algae (chitin) and plant (cellulose) cells Multiple copies of chromosomal DNA; DNA is linear Intracellular, membrane bound organelles present (mitochondria) Chromosomal DNA housed in nucleus 80S (larger) ribosomes present as unbound and bound forms Eukaryotic cells contain two important things that prokaryotic cells do not: a nucleus and organelles (little organs) with membranes around them. Although both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells contain DNA, the DNA in eukaryotic cells is held within the nucleus. In prokaryotic cells, the DNA floats freely around in a unorganized manner. The organelles in eukaryotic cells allow them to perform more complex functions than prokaryotic cells, which don't have these little organs. Prokaryotic cells have a cell wall composed of peptidoglycan (amino acid and sugar). Some eukaryotic cells also have cells walls, but none that are made of peptidoglycan. The flagella in eukaryotic cells are different from the flagella in prokaryotic cells. Flagella are the structures that help cells move. The flagella in eukaryotic cells are composed of several filaments and are far more complex than the flagella in prokaryotic cells. All cells have their genes arranged in linear chains called chromosomes. But eukaryotic cells contain two (or more) copies of every gene. During reproduction, the chromosomes of eukaryotic cells undergo an organized process of duplication called mitosis.
Which theory tries to explain the origin of endoplasmic reticulum nuclear membrane?
The theory of endosymbiosis which believes that nuclear membranes and organelles such as the mitochondrian have evolved from a semi"mutation" in which a prokaryotic cell was engulfed by a eukaryotic cell and instead of being digested it survived and has evolved into key features of the eukaryotic cell. Evidence for this is the fact that the mitochondrian have their own ribosomes ( of which are the prokaryotic variety) and their own DNA which allow them to make their own proteins that can be used in synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Why organeles are not present in blood?
On the contrary, organelles are present in the blood. Blood cells are cells. All cells have organelles as they are what allow the cell to carry out its every functions.
Is organelles in plant cells or animal cells?
Organelles are found in both plant and animal cells. They are the "little organs" within cells that allow the cell to carry out particular functions.
What do prokaryotic fiagella enable prokaryotic cell to do?
Prokaryotic flagella allow the cell to utilize oxygen more efficiently.
How is red-blood cell modified to perform it's special functions?
RBCs will eject all of their organelles to allow more oxygen and carbon dioxide to bond
What are the small structures in the cell that carry out its activities?
Genes.
Is organelle is in plant or animal cell?
Both, organelles are just the little "organs" that function in a general cell.
What do organelles allows cells to do?
Organelles allow the cell to grow, live, and reproduce
What organelles allow eukaryotes to move?
Cytoplasm
The eukaryotic cell has multiple membrane-enclosed compartments This evolutionary innovation provides what advantage to the cell?
The different membrane-enclosed spaces allow different parts of the cell to perform specific functions.
