What are the differences between a prokaryotic cell eukaryotic cell and a virus?

Answer 1

Eukaryotes are cells with a nucleus containing their DNA : i.e. the cells of your body.

Prokaryotes are cells without a nucleus, their DNA is in the cytoplasm (e.g. bacteria).

Viruses are packets of DNA or RNA without cytoplasm. They are not technically alive.

Answer 2

Cells can be divided into two major groups, namely Prokaryotes and

Eukaryotes. In prokaryotes the genetic material is not bound by a membrane. The cells of eukaryotes have a nucleus with a nuclear membrane and organelles such as mitochondria, Golgi bodies etc.

Viruses are not considered as a cell.

It is a particle. It having a genetic material ( DNA or RNA) and protein coat. It can active within other cells only. It can't perform reproduction in outside of other cells. Viruses are very small than Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells.

Metabolism can't perform within a virus particles. But both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells having ability to perform metabolism.

Answer 3

First and foremost, viruses are not technically living organisms as they do not fulfill the criteria of living organisms (i.e they do not respire) whereas prokaryotes are. Prokaryotes have cell walls and plasma membranes, which viruses lack, viruses instead have protein coats which encapsulate their genetic information. Neither have nucleii. Viruses lack all intracellular components such as mitochondria, cytoskeletons and ribosomes, the lack of ribosomes in viruses means they are incapable of replication independently of host cells and instead rely on the cellular 'machinery' of their host cells to replicate. Prokaryotes can freely replicate. Viruses are incabable of any form of respiration due to the lack of intracellular machinery capable of metabolism, and thus do not absorb any nutrients from their surrounding environment. Some Prokaryotes are able to photosynthesise and are thus capable of producing complex sugars from inorganic carbon available in the environment, while others instead rely on nutrients in their local environment which they can either directly absorb or break down outside the cell via enzymes into more simple components which can then be absorbed.

Answer 5

They do not show any cellular organization.They are not living or nonliving

Answer 6

The virus causes harm unlike the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Answer 7

A prokaryotic cell is a cell without a nucleus or membrane bound cell, a eukaryotic cell has a nucleus and membrane bound cells, a virus is unrelated ( an infective agent )
