What are the differences between prokaryotic nucleoid and eukaryotic nucleus?

In prokaryotic cells DNA is present in the bacterial chromosome. This chromosome forms the nucleoid. The nucleoid is the mass of DNA that makes up the chromosome of cells Archaea and bacteria. The nucleus is a structure enclosed in a membrane containing the chromosomes of eukaryotic organisms. In other words the eukaryotic cell has a nucleus but the prokaryotic does not.


What two main differences separate prokaryotic cells from eukaryotic cells?

prokaryotes are bacteria cells and eukaryotes are plant and animal cells.


What are the two broad categories of cells?

1) somatic cells - regenerative cells, replace the old,worn out cells body in other words, meets the normal wear and tear of cells. 2) Gametes- reproductive cells, this event occurs only once in lifetime of any organism.


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.


Were does transcription take place?

in happens in the cytoplasmNo, it doesn't. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm, whereas transcription ( the process in which an exact copy of one strand of DNA is made for the production of proteins) takes place in the nucleus. For details google 'transcription animation'. It should be the first hit.


How do prokaryotes and eukaryotes differ and similar?

Eukaryotes are cells that contain nuclei. Prokaryotes sre cells that do not contain nuclei. Both words derive from the Greek words karyon, meaning "kernel," or nucleus, and eu, meaning "true," or pro, meaning "before." These words reflect the idea that prokaryotic cells evolved before nuclei developed.Prokaryotic, cell have genetic material is not contained in a nucleus.Eukaryotic, cell that contain a nucleus in which their genetic material is separated from the rest of the cell.


If a cell does not have a membrane-bound nucleus it is also not likely to have?

Organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus. These organelles are commonly found in eukaryotic cells, which are characterized by having a membrane-bound nucleus. Cells lacking a nucleus, like prokaryotic cells, typically do not contain these membrane-bound organelles.


What does a nucleus in a eukaryotic cell do?

The nucleus in a eukaryotic cell houses the cell's genetic material in the form of chromosomes, which carry the instructions for cellular functions. It controls gene expression and regulates cellular processes, such as growth, metabolism, and cell division. The nucleus is also responsible for producing RNA, which is then used to make proteins in the cytoplasm.


Explain why a plant cell classified as a eukaryotic cell?

To explain how a plant cell is eukaryotic rather than prokaryotic, consider the definition of both words. What are the similarities and differences between the two cell types? Here are two places to start: what is found inside each cell type and how does each type reproduce itself?


What sentence can you make using the words periodic table and nucleus?

What is the meaning of the term prokaryotic?

Prokaryotic refers to organisms that do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles in their cells. These organisms, such as bacteria and archaea, have a simpler cell structure compared to eukaryotic cells.
