How prokaryotic cells move can differ between cells. However, most of them move using a flagellum, which is a tentacle like thing they use to move with. They can also move by making what is called a false foot allowing them to some what swim.

List three ways in which prokaryotic cells differ from eukaryotic cells?

1. Nucleus. The main difference is that eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not. That is really the meaning of the words prokaryotic (before nucleus) and eukaryotic (true nucleus). 2. Organelles. Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles and prokaryotic cells do not. I say membrane-bound organelles (mitochondrion, lysosomes) because both have ribosomes, which in come texts are considered organelles, but ribosomes are not membrane-bound (surrounded by a membrane). 3. Size. Eukaryotic cells are huge compared to prokaryotic cells. Most eukaryotic cells can be seen in detail with a simple light microscope. 4. Method of reproduction( cell division). Prokaryotic cells divide by binary fission and eukaryotic cells divide by mitosis or meiosis.


Function to move an entire cell?

To move an entire cell in a spreadsheet, you can use the "cut" and "paste" function. First, select the cell you want to move, then right-click and choose "cut." Next, select the new location where you want to move the cell and right-click to choose "paste." This will move the entire contents of the cell to the new location.
