Yes it is, but the nucleic membrane is not (eukaryote cells don't have it).

What can be found in both eukaryote and prokaryote cells?

Ribosomes,cell membrane


Is a membrane bound organelles porkaryoes or eukaryotes or both?

Orly eukaryotes have membrane bound organelles.


Are prokaryote found in plant or animal cell?

No. Both plant and animal cells are eukaryote. This means they both have a membrane bound nucleus and many membrane bound organelles.


Why are bacteria described as prokaryotic?

Bacterium are examples of prokaryotes, because in order for a cell to be classified as a prokaryote it can't have membrane covered organelles at all, nor can it have a nucleus. The only "organelle", per say for lack of a better word, that a bacterium has would be ribosomes. All it has is a cell wall and cell membrane. (if we are only talking about basic biology) A bacteria is an example of a prokaryote because it has these characteristics.


What makes a cell a cell?

There are generally two types of cells: prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Both types must have the following: 1. a control center (DNA), either encapsulated by an independent membrane, or without the membrane. When it has a membrane, the control center is called a nucleus. Without the membrane it is called nucleoid. 2. cytoplasm (where the chemical reactions take place and where the organelles are found) 3. a cell membrane (to control what comes in / out of the cell) 4. organelles - smaller parts inside the cell that do the work of the cell, like ribosomes A prokaryote has a nucleoid, and a eukaryote has a nucleus. Plant and animal cells are eukaryote, but bacteria are prokaryote. Hope that helps.
