What are the 2 main differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

∙ 13y ago
Prokaryotes:
* single-cellular * do not have membrane-bound organelles (such as mitochondria or chloroplasts) * transcription and translation of DNA can occur simultaneously due to the fact that there is no nuclear membrane
Eukaryotes:
* can be multi-cellular * contain membrane-bound organelles

∙ 13y agoProkaryotes:
-cells are smaller and simpler than eukaryotes' cells
-have cell membranes and cytoplasm but doesn't contain the nucleus
-all bacteria are prokaryotes
Eukaryotes:
-cells contain nucleus
-also contain dozens of other organelles that do important cellular functions
-though some live solitary lives as single-celled organisms, many are big, multicellular organisms
-all animals, plants, fungi, and many other microorganisms are eukaryotes

Prokaryotes have naked organelles
Prokaryotes are generally smaller
Prokaryotes DNA are not wound up by histones
Prokaryotes don't have a nucleus
Prokaryotes have smaller ribosomes
Eukaryotes have linear DNA

∙ 11y agoThe most primary difference is the presence of a nucleus found only in the eukaryotes cells

What are the main differences between prokaryotes and eukaryoyes?
Eukaryotes have nuclei. In prokaryotes, the material that would be inside the nuclei is dispersed within the cell.
What is the main organelle that prokaryotes do not have but eukaryotes do have?
Since you asked about the main organelle, singular, I will have to say....The membrane bound nucleus that eukaryotes have and prokaryotes do not.
How are protists different from monerans?
The main difference between protists and monerans is that monerans are prokaryotes while protists are eukaryotes. There are a vast number of other differences, but that is the main one. Study the deffinitions of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells to further your understanding. Note: easier to understand; classification system.
How can prokaryotes and eukaryotes be sort and mixed in a population?
Main substrate is carbohydrate.Glucose is used commonly.
What part of the cell conducts photosynthesis?
The green parts are involved. Main ones are the leaves
What are the main differences between prokaryotes and eukaryoyes?

What are three ways that prokaryotes function differently from eukaryote?
There are three main differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes lack a cell nucleus while eukaryotes are made up of cells that all contain a membrane bound nucleus. While prokaryotes have a single cell make-up, eukaryotes have multiple cells. Prokaryotes has DNA without any real structure, while eukaryotes has a well structured DNA system that is organized into chromosomes.

What is is the main difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes doesnt have a membrane its organelles pretty much just float around unlike eukaryotes it contains a membrane where the organelles are kept proteinsynthesis in prokaryotes- it doesnt not contain "noncoding" meaning it doesnt have introns

What is the differents between a prokaryote and a eukaryote?
Prakariyotes are without nucleus and membrane bound organells.Eukariyotes have nucleus and membrane bound organells.
Is a cell membrane a prokaryotic cell or a eukaryotic cell?
Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have cell membranes. The main difference between the two is that eukaryotic genetic material is bound in a nucleus, while prokaryotes do not have a nucleus.
What is a cell that contains a nucleus called?
Cell that contain nucleus is a eucariotic cell which has a memrane surround the nucleic acid ( DNA ).
Examples of organisms whose cells contain nuclei?
There are two main types of cells, eukaryotes and prokaryotes. One of the main differences between a eukaryote and a prokaryote is the facts that the eukaryote has a nucleus while the prokaryote does not.
How are eukaryotes and prokaryotes the different?
Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and eukaryotic cells do. The main difference to remember is that everything in a eukaryotic cell is much larger and more complex than what would be fouind in a prokaryotic cell. Bacteria is made of prokaryotic cells. Plants and animals are made of eukaryotic cells. In addition to not having a nucleus (the main difference), prokaryotes also have circular DNA while eukaryotes have linear DNA. As such, prokaryotes do not have okazaki fragments formed during DNA replication. Eukaryote genes have introns and exons while prokaryotes do not, and eukaryotes have more "junk" DNA in general.
