One difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells is that only a prokaryotic cells are surrounded by a cell membrane b prokaryotic cells have a nucleus c eukaryotic cells have genetic infor?

Prokaryotic Cells are have the simplier 'anatomy', if you will. Prokaryotic Cells contain a nucleus, and cytoplasm. They have a cell membrane as well.Eukaryotic Cells have celluar organelles and DNA and divide through mitosis.I have the exact same question and choices in my book. But, it appears that you are missing the fourth choice, d. Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, which is the answer.Source: http://biology.suite101.com/article.cfm/difference_between_prokaryotic_eukaryotic_cell


What is larger a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell?

Eukaryotic cells are significantly larger than prokaryotic cells. These are the two basic types of cells in our world. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, whereas eukaryotic cells do. They both do most of the same functions and conduct them in the same ways, but the two main differences between these kinds of cells is that eukaryotic cells are larger, and much more complex, than prokaryotic cells.


Do antibiotics work on eukaryotic cells, and if so, how do they affect them differently than prokaryotic cells?

Antibiotics do not work on eukaryotic cells because they target specific structures or processes unique to prokaryotic cells, such as cell wall synthesis or protein synthesis. Eukaryotic cells have different structures and processes, so antibiotics do not affect them in the same way.


Are bacteria cells prokaryotic or eukaryotic and why?

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.


What supports the idea that eukaryotic cells evolved after prokaryotic cells?

In a basic sense, eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells in their shape, function, differentiation and speciation. One theory that strongly supports eukaryotic evolution from prokaryotic cells is in the mitochondria. Mitochondria actually has its own DNA that is passed from generation to generation, The structure of the mitochondria is very similar to a basic prokaryotic cell, and some research has even indicated that the mito-DNA is actually similar to old bacterial DNA. This supports that perhaps at one point, a eukaryotic cell injested a bacterial cell, and instead of digesting it, the bacterium just stayed inside the euklaryotic cell and the two became one (this is a gross oversimplification, but the general idea remains the same).

What do ribosmoes in the eukaryotic cell do?

Same thing they do in all cells they are in; synthesize proteins. The just differ in subunit structure between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Is a pig a eukaryotic or a prokaryotic?

Pigs have eukaryotic cells that make up their bodies. This is the same for all other mammal species and animals.


How are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells the same?

generally there is a lot of difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic, if you think about similarity then it is only dna, because prokaryotes have dna in a cytoplasm whereas in eukaryotes in nucleus.

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.


How cells are?

All cells of the same type have the same parts. All eukaryotic cells have the same parts, and all prokaryotic cells have the same parts. Cells are also always the building blocks of living organisms - all things are made from cells.


Do all cells have a cell envelope?

No, not all cells have a cell envelope. While many prokaryotic cells (such as bacteria) have a cell envelope composed of a cell wall and cell membrane, eukaryotic cells (such as those in plants and animals) do not have a cell envelope in the same sense. Eukaryotic cells have a plasma membrane but lack a rigid cell wall like prokaryotic cells.

Is a animal cell the same thing as a eurkaryotic cell?

Yes, it is. Animal cells have a defined nucleus therefore; it is a eukaryotic cell. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus (i.e. humans). Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus (i.e. bacteria, etc.) yup they're kinda the same just do things
