What characteristics of Eukaryotic cells gives them greater capacity for specialization than Prokaryotic cell have?

Answer 1

There are a couple answers I can think of at the moment. One is that eukaryotes have membrane bound organelles. This allows eukaryotes to produce more of that organelle in order to adapt to the cells needs. For instance, a muscle cell will have many more mitochondria than a epithelial cell. Eukaryotes are also much bigger than prokaryotes, leaving room for this specialization. The final way is DNA organization. The circular DNA of bacteria can encode for a limited number proteins. Plasmids can expand this a little, but it still pretty tiny compared to the capacity of eukaryotic chromosomes.

Answer 2

Prokaryotes are small because they have to rely on diffusion for metabolites and enzymes to get from place to place in the cell. Eukaryotes can be larger because their membrane bound organelles keep associated materials together.

Answer 3

Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus where genetic material is stored, allowing for more complex and regulated gene expression than prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells also have membrane-bound organelles that perform specialized functions, enabling more efficient and diverse cellular processes compared to prokaryotic cells. Additionally, eukaryotic cells often exhibit larger size and greater complexity, contributing to their capacity for specialization.

Answer 4

Eukaryotes are more complex than prokaryotes because eukaryotes are animal cells that have double membranes and a true nucleus.

Answer 5

because they have a nucleus
