Within the cell in most plants and animals, there are various membrane bound structures called as organelles like mitochondria, chloroplast, nucleus etc. Such a cell is known as an eukaryote. There are non membraneous bound organelles also present in eukaryotic cells. They are mainly the ribosomes and centriole. Each cell organelle performs a specific function of the cell in a well organised manner.

In other cell like in bacteria and blue green algae cells, there are no difinite cell organelles and the nucleoplasm and cytoplasm is not separated. Such a cell is known as a prokaryote. Prokaryotic cells can also carry out all biological functions similar to those of eukaryotic cells whcih are needed to for their existence of living. However the absence of membrane bound structures within the cell simply shows that they are primitive cells.

Prokaryotic cells don't have a nuclear membrane and the genetic material is present as an entangled piece of mass. Eukaryotic cells have a nuclear membrane and well-defined genetic material. ========== As prokaryotes (Bacteria, Archea), mainly single-cell organisms, have only one strand (loop) of DNA, they don't need a nuclear membrane to confined it in the cytosol. They don't have membrane-bound organelles either. While eukaryotes are much more complex cells, with more strands of DNA, need the DNA strands to keep together, to isolate them from the cytosol. They have membrane-bound nucleus, even nuclei. The membrane (or nuclear envelope) is a double membrane which is conneted by nuclear pores, so the isolation from the cytosol is not complete, but allows certain substances to cross in both ways. Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes have several different features, but the presence or lack of nucleus is the main difference. More information could be found at the related links.

What is the difference between prokaryote and eukaryote?

In procaryotes there will be no true membrane bound nucleus (nucleolus) and Chromosomes are circular form. In Procaryotes contains 70s ribosomes. In Eucaryotes true membrane is present around nucleus, and contains more than one chromosome which are linear. In Eucaryotes ribosomes are 80s . In Eucaryotes Mitochondria, Golgi Apparatus, Chloroplasts, Endoplasmic Reticulam, Lysosomes are present . But those are absent in Procaryotes.


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.


What is eucaryotes?

If you mean Eukaryotic then that means they have a nucleus.

no only some move


What domain consists of organisms without a nucleus in their cells?

The domain consisting of organisms without a nucleus in their cells is called Archaea. Archaea are single-celled microorganisms that are distinct from bacteria and eukaryotes due to their unique cellular characteristics and genetic makeup. They are known for thriving in extreme environments.

What are the archae domain kindoms?

Archae are a philo of life, similar to procaryotes, but fundamentally different in terms of their molecular biology and evolution. Procaryotes are bacteria, like the mould in your toilet, or the cause of a yeast infection. Bacteria live pretty much everywhere. Procaryotes are more often adapted for extreme environments than bacteria. They are found in large quantities in salt water. They were identified as different fairly recently with the advent of modern molecular biology.


How do procaryotes resemble chlorplasts and mitochondria?

They have many similar properties.They have 70s ribosomes,circular DNA etc.


Why are new alleles formed?

Mutations can change what protein a section of codes for. The production of different proteins would cause different physical development; a new allele or "trait".
