Are onion cells are prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

Onions are in plant kingdom. They have eukaryotic cells.


Is eukaryotic a single cell?

It can be. The factor that makes it a eukaryote is if it has a nucleus surrounded by a nuclear envelope and organelles to perform specialized functions within the cell. Humans, animals, plants and many other things are composed of eukaryotic cells.


What does it mean if a cell is eukaryotic?

It means it's a cell with many organelles and a membrane-bound nucleus.


What does a eukaryote cell mean?

a cell which has no nuclear membrane and all the contents of the nucleus are scattered all over in the cell-is a eukaryotic cell.


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.


Is a muscle a eukaryotic cell?

ALL the cells in your body is eukaryotic. Eukaryotic by definition is a cell with a nucleus. Because all the cells in your body have a nucleus, they are all considered to be eukaryotic. The skeletal muscle in your body is multinucleated, meaning that they have many nucleus. This, however, does not mean that they suddenly don't become anymore eukaryotic or anymore prokaryotic, because it still has a nucleus.


What does the word eukaryote mean?

The term " eukaryotic" means that a cell has a nucleus, has organelles, and is large in size.


Why is a muscle cell Eukaryotic?

For a eukaryotic cell to have only one chromosome it must be a sex cell or a genome in an organism that normally only has 2 chromosomes per cell. I'm not sure if this is exactly what you mean...


Which cell is the nucleolus located?

Do you mean nucleolus? If so, all Eukaryotic cells like plant and animal cells have a nucleolus. but most bacterial cells such as Prokaryotes have a nucleoid which is different from a nucleus or nucleolus.


What do cells contain true nucleus?

A cell with a true nucleus is called a eukaryotic cell. See: http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/E/eukarycell.htmlThat would be a eukaryotic cell or a eukaryote. This means the cell has a really or true nucleus. The opposite of this is prokaryote, this means before nucleus. Prokaryotes have strands of DNA.


Do germs have anything to do with evolution?

By "germs" I have to assume you mean bacteria. And yes, it is supposed that the first organism was a prokaryotic cell, followed by eukaryotic cells such as plants.
