Apart from prokaryotic cell and eukaryotic cells which other types of cells can you give examples and characteristics of?
There are two main cell types in nature, Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic. These cells types differ mainly by the fact that Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus while Eukaryotic cells do. Viruses, although they usually have a protein coat, are not considered cells.
Prokaryotic cells have a phospholipid membrane and no internal membranes. There are also differences in the DNA and ribosomes. There are two main types, Eubacteria and Archaebacteria. The Archaebacteria are quite different to the Eubacteria. They have a lipid membrane but it is usually a derivative of isoprenol. There are subunits in their ribosomes which also differ to all other bacteria. It has been suggested these two groups be separated into two distinct kingdoms.
Eukaryotic cells have a cell nucleus and other features such as mitochondria. In the Eukaryotes, the DNA is stored in the nucleus. Before protein synthesis the DNA pattern is first copied to precursurs for mRNA. Sections of RNA called introns are first removed using particles made partly of protein and partly of RNA. This is called cutting and splicing. From there it is passed on to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm for protein synthesis. This does not happen in the Prokaryotic cell.
Eukaryotic cells are then divided into several types depending on whether they are plants, animals, protists or fungi. Animals have only the mitochondria. Plants, on the other hand, have other organelles called plastids. These plastids all have the same DNA and membrane but exist in several forms such as chloroplasts responsible for photosynthesis and chromoplasts responsible for colour.
What else can I help you with?
What is the defining characteristic of prokaryotic cells that sets them apart from eukaryotic cells?
The defining characteristic of prokaryotic cells that sets them apart from eukaryotic cells is the absence of a distinct nucleus.
What two main differences separate prokaryotic cells from eukaryotic cells?
prokaryotes are bacteria cells and eukaryotes are plant and animal cells.
Which observation proves that cell is eurkaryote?
which observation proves that cells is eurkaryote
What is the one unifying characteristic of protists?
The one unifying characteristic of protists is that they are eukaryotic organisms, meaning their cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. This sets them apart from prokaryotic organisms like bacteria.
Cells fall into two broad categories depending on whether they have a cell wall?
Cells with a cell wall are called prokaryotic cells, while cells without a cell wall are called eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells include bacteria and archaea, while eukaryotic cells include plant and animal cells.
What is the defining characteristic of prokaryotic cells that sets them apart from eukaryotic cells?
The defining characteristic of prokaryotic cells that sets them apart from eukaryotic cells is the absence of a distinct nucleus.
Is paramecium prakaryote or eukaryot?
Paramecium is a Eukaryotic cell, not a Prokaryotic cell
What two main differences separate prokaryotic cells from eukaryotic cells?
prokaryotes are bacteria cells and eukaryotes are plant and animal cells.
In which phase must everything line up before the cells can begin to split apart?
The Metaphase of mitosis in a eukaryotic cell. I don't know for prokaryotic and viruses don't. Also Metaphase in Meiosis 1 and 2.
What are examples of characteristics?
Your hair color and your eye color. Those are just some examples!There are many different types of characteristics. These are details that allow people and things to stand apart from others. Examples of characteristics include loud, quiet, shy, outspoken, large, bold, humble, and blunt.
Do Eukaryota's have specialized structures or internal compartments?
Eukaryotic cells do not all have the same internal structure. A Eukaryotic cell is essentially a complex cell, although the defining element element that sets in apart from prokaryotic cells is the existence of a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells include both plant and animal cells; both have very different organelles.
Which observation proves that cell is eurkaryote?
which observation proves that cells is eurkaryote
What are the characteristics of the kingdom archaea?
Archaea are prokaryotic microorganisms that are distinct from bacteria and eukaryotes. They are known for living in extreme environments such as hot springs and acidic environments. Archaea have unique cell membrane structures and genetic characteristics that set them apart from other organisms.
In witch phase must everything line up before the cell can begin to split apart?
The Metaphase of mitosis in a eukaryotic cell. I don't know for prokaryotic and viruses don't. Also Metaphase in Meiosis 1 and 2.
What is the one unifying characteristic of protists?
The one unifying characteristic of protists is that they are eukaryotic organisms, meaning their cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. This sets them apart from prokaryotic organisms like bacteria.
Cells fall into two broad categories depending on whether they have a cell wall?
Cells with a cell wall are called prokaryotic cells, while cells without a cell wall are called eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells include bacteria and archaea, while eukaryotic cells include plant and animal cells.
Cells with organized nuclei?
Cells with organized nuclei are typically eukaryotic cells, which have a defined nucleus surrounded by a nuclear membrane. The organized nucleus contains the cell's genetic material in the form of chromosomes, which are responsible for regulating cellular functions and inheritance. This distinct nuclear structure is a key feature that sets eukaryotic cells apart from prokaryotic cells.
