What is the difference part between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

Prokaryotes are much simpler than eukaryotes. They don't have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. Both have DNA, but prokaryotic DNA sort of floats around in strips whereas eukaryotic DNA is contained in the nucleus.

What are the similarities and difference between prokaryotic and eukaryote?
Prokaryotes are most primitive organisms. All bacteria belong to thiscategory. Eukaryotes are well developed organisms. All animals and Plants including Fungi, Amoeba, Malarial parasite etc belongs to this class. Prokaryotes have single chromosome in there nucleus but eukaryotes have have multiple chromosomes in there nucleus. Prokaryotes do not have His-tone protein present in there Chromosomes. While it is present in Eukaryotes. Nucleolus is absent in bacteria but present in eukaryotes. Nuclearmembrane is absent or poorly developed in Prokaryotes and well developed in Eukaryotes. Cellorganellesare absent or poorly developed in Prokaryotes and well developed in Eukaryotes. Mitochondria are absent in Prokaryotes and present in Eukaryotes. 70S Ribosomes are present in Prokaryotes and 80S and Ribosomes are present in Eukaryotes. Bacteria have cell wall made up of Peptidoglycan (usually.) but plant cell wall is made of cellulose and animal cell do not have it. (pressure inside the gram positive bacteria are 30 times more than atmospheric pressure and that in gram negative bacteria is 5 times more. Itprobablyindicates that gram positive bacteria has originated in deep sea and gram negative in upper part of sea, where pressure is low.
Is a cell wall part of a prokartotic or a eukaryotic cell?
All prokaryotic cells (prokaryotes) have a cell wall. However, cell walls are not exclusive to prokaryotes. Some eukaryotes also have cell walls. Plants and fungi are eukaryotes which have cell walls made of cellulose and chitin, respectively. Not all eukaryotes have cell walls though (animals do not).
What part of the cell conducts photosynthesis?
The green parts are involved. Main ones are the leaves
What part of the cell theory did Lynn margulis contribute to?
She concluded that some organelles found in eukaryotes were once free-living prokaryotes.
Compare and contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
A eukaryote cell contains membrane bound organelles and also has a nucleus whereas prokaryote cells don't have a membrane bound organelles or a nucleus. Prokaryote cells are bacteria cells and either belong to the kingdom Archaebacteria or Eubacteria. Eukaryotes are animals, plants, fungi, and most protists.
Is chlorophyll a eukaryotic or prokaryotic?
no chloroplast is not present in prokaryotes because it is a type of plastid and plastids are membrane bounded organelles and prokaryotes donot have membrane bounded organelles. so chloroplast is only present in eukaryotes(in plants and some algae)
Do prokaryotic cells have a Golgi complex?
Prokaryotes are for the most part unicellular organisms which lack nucleus. They also lack other important organelles Eukaryotes have, that said, they don't have the presence of the Golgi Complex.
What is the difference between pressure part and nonpressure part?
The difference between pressure and non pressure part
Which part of the Cell prevents it from dissolving into water?
The Cell membrane, along with its integrated proteins. In prokaryotes the Cell membrane is bolstered by the [mostly cellulosic] Cell Wall; in eukaryotes the Cell membrane is bolstered by the [glyco-protein] Cell Coat.
How is DNA packaged in prokaryotes?
Not really " packaged " in the sense that eukaryotes package their DNA. Prokaryote DNA is diffuse throughout the cell and is in rings. Also other smaller rings, called plasmids, are also part of prokaryote genetic complements.
What does microbiology refer to?
The study of small, living organisms that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. For the most part, this includes all prokaryotes and the eukaryotes fungi and protists. Viruses are also studied, although they aren't really classified as living.
Compare and contrast prokayotes and eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes are older, more basic in function and shape, do not contain a true nucleus or any membrane-bound organelles, unicellular (for the most part - some bacteria have multicellular stages in their life), and consist of bacteria and archae (old bacteria). Eukaryotes can be uni- or multi-cellular, have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, are generally more complex in shape and function, much larger than prokaryotes and evolved later in history. These are just some basic comparisons.
