What is the difference between a eukaryote or a prokaryote?

Answer 1

1. Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus, and their DNA is free floating, while eukaryotes do have a nucleus (where DNA is found).
2. Prokaryotes usually only have a plasma membrane, DNA, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and often times a cell wall.
3. Prokaryotic ribosomes are smaller than eukaryotic ones (by about 10S)
4. Flagella, while shown in prokaryotes, are NOT made of microtubules.
   

However, the most distinctive difference between the two is that the eukaryotes have a nucleus, while prokaryotes do not.

Answer 2

Eukaryotes have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotes do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotes are typically multicellular organisms, while prokaryotes are usually unicellular.

Answer 3

Easy: Eukaryotes possess a distinct nucleus, which contains and protects the cell's complement of DNA. The cells of all animals and plants larger than single cells are of this type, including your own.

Prokaryotes are more primitive, having evolved before Eukaryotes, and lack a nucleus. Their DNA (or, sometimes, RNA) is randomly distributed throughout the material of the cell. All Prokaryotes are unicellular, like bacteria.

Answer 4

Prokaryotes are usually single called like bacteria. Eukaryotes are animal cell
