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)

Is an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom neutron attracting an electron a proton attracting an electron an electron attracting another electron a neutron attracting a proton?

Yes, an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom is a proton attracting an electron. This attraction occurs due to the opposite charges of the proton (positive) and the electron (negative), leading to the electrostatic force of attraction between them.


How to get a ratio?

calculate the ratio between proton&electron


What is the ratio r proton /r electron of the radii of their circular paths?

The ratio between radius of proton to the radius of electron is just 0.3


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.


What is the relationship between the charges of a proton and an electron?

Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge. The relationship between the charges of a proton and an electron is that they are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign.


What is in between subatomic particles?

Subatomic particles are: neutron, proton, electron.


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.

How electron is converted into proton?

An electron will not decay into a proton by any means.


How big is a proton compared to a electron?

A proton is bigger than electron


How big is a electron compared to a proton?

Does an electron or proton have a larger charge?

No. The electron and proton have the same amount of charge. Its just that the electron's charge is negative and the proton's charge is positive.
