List 3 similarities between the two types of cells?

Answer 1

• Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common the genetic material, that is, presence of DNA
• Along with DNA, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common the presence of RNA
• Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, both have a cell membrane covering them
• The prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells similarities are seen in their basic chemical structures. Both are made up of carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acid, minerals, fats and vitamins
• Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common ribosomes, that are the structures that make up proteins
• Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells regulate the flow of nutrients and waste matter that enters and leaves the cells
• Prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells both carry out the basic life process, that is, photosynthesis and reproduction.
• Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells need energy supply to survive
• Prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells both have 'chemical noses' that keeps them updated and aware of all the reactions that occur within them and in the surrounding environment
• Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common a fluid-like matrix called the cytoplasm that fills the cells.
• Prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells both have a cytoskeleton within the cell to support them
• Prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells, both have a thin extension of the plasma membrane. It is supported by the cytoskeleton. It is observed in the flagella and cilia in eukaryotic cells and flagella, endoflagella, fimbriae and pili in prokaryotic cells. This is used for motility, adhering to surfaces or moving matter outside the cells.
• Some prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common glycocalyces. This is a sugar based structure that is sticky and helps the cells in anchoring to each other, thus, giving them some protection.
• Prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells, both have lipid bilayer known as the plasma layer that forms the boundary between the inside and outside of the cell.
