What is the difference in a eukaryotic and a prokaryotic cell?

Answer 1

One of the main differences is in what the names mean. Pro- means before. Cary- means nut (nucleus) and -otic means the process of. So Procaryotic means before the process of the nut (nucleus). These cells are rather primitive and where here long before eucaryotic cells. The word eucaryotic means the process of the new nut. The eucaryotic cell has a membrane around the nucleus and the procaryotic cell does not. Bacteria are procaryotic and our cells are eucaryotic.

Answer 2

Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus with a nuclear membrane, while prokaryotic cells do not. Eukaryotic cells also have membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, which prokaryotic cells lack. Additionally, eukaryotic cells are generally larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells.

Answer 3

The major diffecence in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells is the nucleus in eukaryotic cells have well defined nuceleous with nuclear membrane while prokaryotic cells lack well defined nucleus and and nuclear membrane

the another difference in them are eukaryotic cells have organelli like mitochondria, chloroplast (in plants), and ribosomes of 80s, while prokaryotic cells do not have them and their ribosomes are of 70s

Answer 4

Prokaryote cells have no nucleus, but they have a nucleoid instead.

Whereas Eukaryote cells have a nucleus, mitochondria, and has less things inside the cell wall which suggests it has adapted to not need them.

But both have ribosome's in them.

Answer 5

eukaryotic is a cell that can hold its shape but prokaryotic is a cell that cannot keep its shape

Answer 6

A Eukaryote has a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles whereas a Prokaryote does not.

Answer 7

prokaryotic cells have an unorganized nucleas. it means "before kernal." eukaryotic cells have an organized nucleas. it means "sfter kernal."

Answer 8

Prokaryotic cells do not have a membrane around their nucleus(not separating it from other organelles) and Eukaryotic do.

Answer 9

they are different b/c eukariyotic organisms have true nucleus while prokariyotic does not possess true nucleus. . .

Answer 10

Eukariyotes have an organized nucleus. Prokariyotes do not have
