Single celled organisms really don't think about things but when the place that they find themselves in has plenty of food and water, that will trigger the 'let's make more of us' process. The cells also wear out and have to be replaced. It is why we also reproduce.

How do prokaryotic cells divide?

Prokaryotic cells divide through a process called binary fission. During this process, the cell duplicates its genetic material and membrane, then divides into two daughter cells. This type of cell division is simple, efficient, and rapid.


Most prokaryotes divide by way of?

Binary Fission is the process by which prokaryotic cells divide


Is cell division a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell?

Cell division occurs in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In prokaryotic cells, cell division is mainly achieved through binary fission, while in eukaryotic cells, it occurs through either mitosis or meiosis.


Looking at a cell under a microscope you note that it is a prokarote?

- prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and eukaryotic cells do. - prokaryotic cells lack some organelles and eukaryotic cells do not. - prokaryotic cells are not found in humans and eukaryotic cells are. - prokaryotic cells are always unicellular and eukaryotic cells are often multicellular. - prokaryotic cells reproduce/divide by binary fission and eukaryotic cells reproduce/divide by mitosis/meiosis


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

The majority of cells on Earth are prokaryotic, classified into two major groups, the bacteria and archaea. Prokaryotic cells divide by binary fission.


How do prokaryotic cells reproduce and divide?

Prokaryotic cells reproduce and divide using binary fission, mitosis, and meiosis. It just depends on the species of cell.

Does prokaryotic cells divide through the process of mitosis?

No, prokaryotic cells divide through a process called binary fission, which involves the replication and division of the genetic material and other cellular components into two identical daughter cells. Mitosis is a process specific to eukaryotic cells.

Which cytoplasmic organelles are treated as prokaryotic cells within the eukaryotic cells?

Mitochondria and chloroplasts are treated as prokaryotic cells within eukaryotic cells because they have their own DNA, divide independently of the cell, and have double membranes similar to those found in prokaryotic cells like bacteria. This has led to the theory of endosymbiosis, suggesting that these organelles were once free-living prokaryotic organisms that were engulfed by ancestral eukaryotic cells.


Why don't prokaryotic cells divide through mitosis'?

Mitosis is division of the nucleus, and prokaryotes don't have a nucleus


What are prokaryotic cells reproduced by?
