Best Answer

SIMILARITIES:

1. They both have DNA as their genetic material.

2. They are both membrane bound.

3. They both have ribosomes .

4. They have similar basic metabolism .

5. They are both amazingly diverse in forms.

DIFFERENCES:

1. eukaryotes have a nucleus, while prokaryotes do not

2. eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotes do not. The organelles of eukaryotes allow them to exhibit much higher levels of intracellular division of labor than is possible in prokaryotic cells.

3. Eukaryotic cells are, on average, ten times the size of prokaryotic cells.

4. The DNA of eukaryotes is much more complex and therefore much more extnsive than the DNA of prokaryotes.

5. Prokaryotes have a cell wall composed of peptidoglycan, a single large polymer of amino acids and sugar . Many types of eukaryotic cells also have cell walls, but none made of peptidoglycan.

6. The DNA of prokaryotes floats freely around the cell; the DNA of eukaryotes is held within its nucleus and associated with histones (proteins)

7. Eukaryotes undergo mitosis; prokaryotes divide by binary fission (simple cell division)

The main similarity between them is that they are subatomic particles found in all elements and they are particles of matter (versus antiprotons and positrons, which are their opposites and are particles of antimatter). They are quite different in most other ways; the proton is found in the nucleus while the electron orbits about the atom some relative distance away from the nucleus, and the proton is much bigger and heavier than the electron.

well proton as a +1 charge in the nucleus and neutron as 0 and that's in the nucleus aswell.

in a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons are the same (in order to maintain charge neutrality).

What is the difference between an electron and proton and neutrons?

A proton is positively charged; a neutron has no charge and an electron is negatively charged, that is why it is attracted to the atom, which consists of protons.

A proton is a subatomic particle carrying a charge equal to but opposite that of an electron true or false?

True. But please note that there are other differences between the proton and the electron as well - for example, the proton has a larger mass, and the proton is made up of smaller particles, while the electron - as far as we know - is not.
