Eukaryotic DNA sequences called enhancers have a function similar to the operators of prokaryotic operons. In eukaryotic cells, repressor proteins inhibit transcription by binding to silencers.

What forms the same function as the ribosome?

prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.


What is a ribosomes function in a prokaryotic cell?

The function is same as of eukaryotic cell i-e they make proteins for the cell


What function is performed by eukaryotic cells but not prokaryotic cells?

The definition of eukaryotic is that of any organism having as its fundamental structural unit a cell type that contains specialized organelles in the cytoplasm, characteristics of all life forms except bacteria, blue algae and other primitive organisms.


What does prokaryotic and eukaryotic mean?

A prokaryotic cell is normally a bacteria. A prokaryotic cell does not have a membrane around it's nucleus, it has loops of DNA free in its cytoplasm. A eukaryotic cell is any cell with many organelles (other parts which help it function) and a membrane-bound nucleus. The nucleus is the key difference- if it has a membrane, it is Eukaryotic/a Eukaryote. If not, it is Prokaryotic/a Prokaryote.


Function to move an entire cell?

Flagellum main function is to move cells in organisms. Flagellum is a hair like structure and can be found in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.


What is the function of a bacterial fiagellum?

A flagellum is a hair like structure that protrudes from the body of a prokaryotic or eukaryotic organism. Its primary function is for locomotion.


What is the function of the cell membrane and which cells have membrane?

The function of the cell membrane is to let things in and out of the cell. It's like a gate to the cell. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have cell membranes.


What is main the function of chloroplast in prokaryotic cell?

By definition, prokaryotic cells cannot have chloroplasts. This is either a trick question or the answer should replace prokaryotic with eukaryotic. In eukaryotic cells, the chloroplast serves as an energy translator. It takes energy from photons and translates it into usable energy for the cell via carbon compounds. These carbon compounds are eventually combined to form sugars.


Why prokaryotic cells are not prefer for eukaryotic gene expression?

Actually, for some uses prokaryotic cells are just fine for eukaryotic gene expression. That said bacteria are deficient in quite a lot of the post-translational modification systems that eukaryotes use, such as glycosylation. Since those post-translational modifications can actually be important to the protein's function you might choose a eukaryotic expression system to preserve them.


What are some facts about ribosomes?

Nicknamed-"Protein Factories"Function- Links Amino Acids together to form proteinsRibosomes are also found in all cells, Prokaryotic &Eukaryotic


What are the evolutionary relationships between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Mitochondria and chloroplasts have prokaryote-like features. For example, although most of the DNA in eukaryotic cells resides in the nucleus, both mitochondria and chloroplasts have DNA molecules in their inner compartments. Mitochondrial and chloroplastic ribosomes are similar to the ribosomes of prokaryotes. The endosymbiont theory proposes that eukaryotic organisms evolved from prokaryotic ancestors; this idea supports the notion that organelles evolved from prokaryotic organisms that originally lived inside larger cells, eventually losing the ability to function as autonomous organisms


How many structure do prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell have in common?

Since all prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles, the only common structures would be the cell membrane and the ribosomes. The ribosomes, however, are different than the ones found in eukaryotic cells.
