Which best descirbes a difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

One key difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus enclosed within a membrane, while prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells also generally have membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, which are absent in prokaryotic cells.


What are the 2 main differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

Prokaryotes: * single-cellular * do not have membrane-bound organelles (such as mitochondria or chloroplasts) * transcription and translation of DNA can occur simultaneously due to the fact that there is no nuclear membrane Eukaryotes: * can be multi-cellular * contain membrane-bound organelles


Do eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles?

Eukaryotes contain membrane bound organelles. Prokaryotes do not contain membrane bound organelles. However, prokaryotes do contain ribosomes which is an example of a non-membrane bound organelle.


What would endoplasmic reticulum represent?

Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough) : Highway with cars (for ribosomes) Endoplasmic Reticulum (Soft) : Road without cars* *because the soft endoplasmic reticulum does not contain ribosomes


Does chloroplast contain endoplasmic reticulum?

No


Do animals contain endoplasmic reticulum?

yes


Why post-translational modification of protein does not occur in prokaryotes?

Post-translational modifications of proteins do occur in prokaryotes, but they are generally less complex than in eukaryotes. Prokaryotes lack certain cellular compartments where modifications like glycosylation occur in eukaryotes. Additionally, prokaryotes have simpler metabolic pathways that may not require extensive post-translational modifications for protein function.


Does an animal have a smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Yes; Animal cells contain a smooth endoplasmic reticulum (as well as plant cells).


Do prokaryotes and eukaryotes contain chloroplast?

Prokariyotes do not have chloroplast.Only eukariyotes have it.


Is prokaryotic cell more complex or simple?

Prokaryotic cells are simpler than eukaryotic cells because they lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. Prokaryotic cells are typically found in single-celled organisms like bacteria.
