What is the differernce between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

The most commonly identified difference is that eukaryotic cells are nucleated, prokaryotic cells are not.Most eukaryotic cells have only one nucleus, but some have more. Some species of a fungus called slime molds are known to have several thousand nuclei in one cell.However the more general difference is that eukaryotic cells contain organelles (e.g. mitochondria, chloroplasts, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus) and prokaryotic cells don't. These are believed to have originated as symbiotic microorganisms that entered the cells of the ancestors of early eukaryotes and took up permanent residence.


What do eurkaryotic cells have that prokaryotic cells do not?

Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus containing their DNA, membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, and are generally larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, and their DNA is typically found in a region called the nucleoid.


Which cells are smaller eukaryotic or prokaryotic?

Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller than eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles, such as a nucleus, which allows them to be more compact in size. Eukaryotic cells, on the other hand, are larger and have membrane-bound organelles that compartmentalize different cellular functions.


Does prokaryotic cell have centrioles?

No, prokaryotic cells do not have centrioles. Centrioles are found in eukaryotic cells and are involved in organizing the microtubules during cell division. Prokaryotic cells lack many of the organelles found in eukaryotic cells.


What do eukaryotic cells have that prokaryotic cells do not?

Membrane enclosed organelles

What 2 things do eukaryotic cells have that prokaryotic cells do not?

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, which prokaryotic cells lack. These features allow for compartmentalization of cellular functions and increased complexity in eukaryotic cells.

Eukaryotic cells contain specialized structures called?

There are many difference between Prokaryotic cells (Bacteria for example. ) and Eukaryotic cells (Cells from animal kingdom for example. ) In general Eukaryotic cells are more developed than prokaryotic cells in all cell organelles.


Does prokaryotic cells have microfilaments?

Prokaryotic cells do not have microfilaments like eukaryotic cells do. Prokaryotic cells lack many of the membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells and have a simpler cytoskeleton that typically includes proteins like MreB and FtsZ for cell structure and division.

Are fungi cells eukaryotic or prokaryotic and why?

Fungi cells are eukaryotic because they have true nuclei with a nuclear membrane, as well as other membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria and Golgi apparatus. Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, lack these features and have a simpler cellular structure.


Which animals have eukaryotic cells?

every animal is eukaryoyic.There are no prokariyotic animals
