What does it mean to say the eukaryotic cell is compartmentalized?
Wiki User
∙ 7y ago
Compartmentalization allows each compartment to perform specific functions without interference from other cell functions. For example, lysosomes can break down cell debris in a compartment without accidentally digesting the cell itself.
It also allow enzymes and substrates to reach higher concentrations than if everything was diluted by the entire cytoplasm. For example, the mitochondria accumulates a large electron gradient in order for the electron transport chain to work.

What cell is more complicated Prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Eukaryotic cells are more complex then prokaryotic cells. This is because they are larger in size and have membrane bound organelles. They are have an enclosed nucleus.
Is easier to extract DNA from prokaryotic than eukaryotic cells?
I would say so. In a eukaryotic cell,the DNA is surrounded by the nuclear membrane, which makes it harder. In a prokaryotic cell, the DNA is simply suspended in nucleoid region, which makes locating and extracting far easier. BUT, realize that most prokaryotic cells are surrounded by a cell wall, which can be tough to get through.
Does animal cells have prokaryote or eukaryote cells?
It has eukaryote cells
What does it mean when you say a cell membrane is impermeable?
nothing can pass through it
Why is a bacteria a prokaroytic cell?
One of a prokaryotic cell's characteristics is that it has no nucleus. So you could say that it is a prokaryotic cell because it has no nucleus. My 6th grade science teacher once told me: Pro= no (prokaryotic has no nucleus) Euk = nuc (eukaryotic cells have nucleus). This answer only applies if the kind of bacteria you are talking about is prokaryotic.

What is the autogenic hypothesis of the origin of the eukaryotic cell?
Autogenic means produced from within, or self-generating. Therefore the 'autogenic hypothesis' is most likely to be that the organelles and structures of a Eukaryotic cell were self-generated by a Prokaryotic cell - and this is how Eukaryotic cells were created. The theory of Endosymbiosis is much more widely accepted.

Are humans cells prokaryotic or eukaryotic explain?
human bones are eukaryotic cells as they contain well developed nucles.
Does animal cells have prokaryote or eukaryote cells?
It has eukaryote cells
Are ferrets eukaryotic?
Yes. All plants and animals are eukaryotic. That is to say they are all composed of cells withe nuclei.
A eukaryotic cell that lacks mitochondria would be unable to carry out which essential function?
The Mitochondria are used to make ATP, or energy. Well, if the Mitochondria were to be destroyed, i would say that the cell will soon stop storing energy and probably die.Cellular respiration
What does it mean when scientists say that the cell membrane is selectivley permeable?
yes, it is
What does it mean when you say a cell membrane is impermeable?
nothing can pass through it
