Compare and contrast prokaryotic cells with eukaryotic cells?

Answer 1

There are a LOT of difference between a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic cell. However, there are some similarities too.

Difference

* For one, the eukaryotic is much larger in size compared to a prokaryotic cell.

* Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells have only one organelle: the ribosomes. * Ribosomes look different in size and shape in prokaryotes than eukaryotes.

* Eukaryotic has nucleus, the control center of the cell. This where the chromosomes (DNA) are stored in a double phospholipid membranes. The prokaryotic cell has, not a nucleus, but a space where the DNA is stored in a circular form called plasmids.

* Prokaryotes are all unicellular. Eukaryotes, although most are multicellular, can be a unicellular organism.

Similarities

* They are both cells (a little obvious...) * Have cell membranes made of phospholipid chains with cholesterol and proteins crammed in between. * Both have ribosomes * Has DNA which controls how the organism acts, behaves, and looks.

Answer 2

There are a few main differences 1: the nucleus has a membrane with eukaryotic cells, but not prokaryotic cells 2: prokaryotic cells have plasmid rather than DNA 3: prokaryotic cells are often bacteria 4: prokaryotic cells come in 3 main shapes rod, sphere, and spiral 5: cell division occurs differently in the 2 types 6: prokaryotic organisms are often single celled while eukaryotic organisms can be single or multi celled

Answer 3

1.While eucaryotes have 80 ribosomes(except at mitrochondria and chloroplasts),procaryotes have 70 ribosomes.

2.Procaryotic cells are mainly unicellular in nature (e.g bacteria,archae),while eucaryotic cells are predominately multicellular(e.g plants,animals).

Answer 4

Prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus and organelles. Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller and simpler in structure, with a single circular chromosome, whereas eukaryotic cells are larger and more complex, with multiple linear chromosomes. Eukaryotic cells have a cytoskeleton for structural support, while prokaryotic cells lack this feature.
