Between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes Mr. Stergar 6th Period 6th Period 10/12/16
I have decided to do an essay about differences and similarities between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. There is a lot of differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, but less similarities than differences. All of the cells help the earth one way or another. One difference between the two is, all prokaryotes are …show more content…
Binary fission is a form asexual reproduction in which a cell divides to form two identical cells. Asexual reproduction is reproductive process that involves only one parent and produces off spring that are identical to the parent. Eukaryotes use mitosis which is a cell cycle during which the cell’s nucleus divides into two new nuclei and one copy of the DNA is distributed into each daughter cell. There is technically six stages of mitosis. Eventually, during the mitosis stages the nucleus exchanges its information and the cell splits apart to make a new …show more content…
Cytoplasm is a jelly-like sac that is made by mostly water and salt. Cytoplasm is there in all cell types and contains all organelles and cell parts. It’s kind of like water in a water balloon. The actual water balloon is like the cell wall.
Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes have ribosomes. Ribosomes are particles that that have RNA, (ribonucleic acid), and a variety of proteins found in large numbers in cytoplasm of living cells. They message RNA and transfer RNA to synthetic polypeptides. The ribosomes just makes sure that the RNA are working and transferring throughout the cell.
Lastly, a similarity is you can find prokaryotes and eukaryotes in human. Prokaryotes have a mutualistic relationship with the human body. And all human body cells are eukaryotes. Prokaryotes are mostly bacteria, and lots of bacteria have positive effects on humans. The positive effects are they help the large intestines, helps skin, and helps prevent fungi overgrowth, as well as many other positive functions. And eukaryotes are just every living human body
