External structures of a prokaryotic cell include glycocalyces, flagella, fimbriae, and pili. Most prokaryotic cells have a cell wall. Prokaryotic cells have a cytoplasmic membrane, cytosol, and inclusions. The nonmembranous organelles found in a prokaryotic cell are ribosomes and the cytoskeleton.

List three ways in which prokaryotic cells differ from eukaryotic cells?

1. Nucleus. The main difference is that eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not. That is really the meaning of the words prokaryotic (before nucleus) and eukaryotic (true nucleus). 2. Organelles. Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles and prokaryotic cells do not. I say membrane-bound organelles (mitochondrion, lysosomes) because both have ribosomes, which in come texts are considered organelles, but ribosomes are not membrane-bound (surrounded by a membrane). 3. Size. Eukaryotic cells are huge compared to prokaryotic cells. Most eukaryotic cells can be seen in detail with a simple light microscope. 4. Method of reproduction( cell division). Prokaryotic cells divide by binary fission and eukaryotic cells divide by mitosis or meiosis.


Compare and contrast prokaryotic cells with eukaryotic cells?

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.

What are 5 differences between prokaryotics and eukaryotics?

prokaryotic:-1 True nucleus not present. 2 membrane bound organelles are lacking. 3 size- 1-10mm 4 single chromosomes. 5 nucleus absence. Eukaryotic:- 1True nucleus present. 2 organelles are membrane bounded. 3 size- 5-100mm 4 more than 1 chromosomes. 5 nucleus present.

What is the difference between animal and bacterial cells?

The differences are many. Bacterial cells are 1) prokaryotic; 2) do not have a nucleus; 3) chromosomal DNA is ribbon shaped and loose in the cytoplasm; 4) bacterial cells have cell walls; 5) bacteria do not have organelles and 6) they reproduce by binary fission Animal cells: 1) are eukaryotic; 2) have a well defined nucleus which holds chromosomal DNA; 3) have many organelles; 4) do not have cell walls;5) somatic cells reproduce by mitosis and 6) gametes are produced by meiosis.
