Actually, cell walls are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In plants (eukaryotic) the cell walls are composed of cellulose whereas in prokaryotes, the cell walls are composed of peptidoglycan.

Three things both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells have?

The similarities between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are; They both contain ribosomes They are both enclosed by plasma membranes They are both filled with cytoplasm and they both have DNA.


If a unicellular organism has a cell has a cell wall ribosomes and circular DNA is it eukaryotic or prokargotic?

It is likely prokaryotic, as the presence of a cell wall, ribosomes, and circular DNA are characteristic features of prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells, on the other hand, typically have a nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, and linear DNA.


How are the prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells simaliar?

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and genetic material (DNA), which directs cellular activities. They both carry out essential functions of life, such as metabolism and reproduction, but eukaryotic cells have a more complex internal structure with membrane-bound organelles.


Are plant cells prokaryotic?

Plant cells are Eukaryotic. Eukaryotic cells have a nuclei and membrane bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells are cells without a nuclei or membrane bound organelles. A bacteria cell is an example of a Prokaryotic cell. Plant and animal cell are examples for eukaryotic cells


Explain the effect of penicillin on prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Penicillin inhibits the synthesis of bacterial cell walls by targeting the enzymes involved in their production, which are specific to prokaryotic cells. In contrast, eukaryotic cells have different cell wall structures and are not affected by penicillin. This makes penicillin selectively toxic to bacteria, making it an effective antibiotic while sparing eukaryotic cells.

Is cell membrane a prokaryotic cell or eykaryotic cell?

Neither. Cell membrane is a membrane covering a cell (hence the name) and is in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic, although most types of prokaryotic and some types of eukaryotic also has cell wall covering the cell membrane.


A cell wall is in what kind of cells?

Plant eukaryotic cells have a cell wall made of cellulose and fungi eukaryotic cells have a chitin cell wall (these cells are both known as eukaryotes). However, animal eukaryotic cells never have a cell wall. Prokaryotic cells (bacteria) always have a cell wall.


Is cell wall eukaryotic or prokaryotic?

Cell wall is a eukaryote, more specifically a plant cell.

What are smilarities between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell?

They are both living organisms.They both have cell membrane. Most prokaryotes and some eukaryotes are also surrounded by the cell wall, although the makeup of the cell wall differs on the type.They both have ribosomes, although prokaryotic ribosomes are different from eukaryotic ribosomes.They both have DNA. In eukaryotes, they are surrounded by nuclear membrane. In prokaryotes, they are suspended in the nucleoid region.


Where is the cell membrane located in the Cell?

It is internal to the prokaryotic Cell wall as well as the eukaryotic Cell coat.


What are the similarities in a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell?

Everything is the same except for the cell wall the cell membrane and the vacuole
