There are many differences in the composition and storage of genetic material in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Chromosomes in prokaryotes consist of a single nucleic acid molecule which can be either DNA or RNA. There is comparatively little genetic material for example E.coli genome is 1200 micrometres while a single human chromosome is between 12000 and 73000 micrometers in size. Unlike in eukaryotes the genetic material in viral prokaryotes can be single or double stranded RNA or DNA. It can also

THE ORGANELLES OF EUKARYOTIC CELLS . The difference between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells is organelles‚ membrane enclosed structures that perform specific duties. The most important of all is the “nucleus‚” this holds the DNA and is surrounded by a double membrane. The Prokaryotic lacks a nucleus which is not partitioned from the other cells by membranes. The region between the nucleus and plasma membrane is called cytoplasm and in the Eukaryotic cell it consists of various

Prokaryotic cells are single celled organisms that were formed at the formation of the earth‚ so are the most basic life forms. The prokaryotes are organised in the ‘three domain system’ and include bacteria and blue-green algae. Prokaryotes live in many environments including extreme habitats such as hydrothermal vents‚ hot springs‚ swamps‚ wetlands‚ and the guts of animals. This is a diagram of a prokaryote cell and it shows that they are not very complex cells. They do not contain any membrane

3. Describe the differences between animal and plant cells. Although plant and animal cells both have mitochondria‚ cytoplasm‚ and ribosomes they differ in many ways. Animal cells do not have a cell wall and are round with irregular shapes. Centrioles are also present in all animal cells‚ as well as most eukaryotic cells. Plant cells only have centrioles if they are in the lower plant species. Both types of cells have vacuoles‚ but their functions are quite different. The purpose of vacuoles in

Eukaryotic cells contain its DNA within its nucleus‚ while prokaryotic cells keep it within the nucleoid. Prokaryotic cells are also more minute than the eukaryotic cells. Also although they both contain ribosomes‚ they are composed differently. 3. The central vacuole (takes in water and chemicals)‚ cell wall (allows the plant to be strong enough

Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic cells have similarities and differences. They can be found in different places. They have different ways of functioning and can be made up of different things. But just how they are very different they have some similarities that can in a way unite them and make them a part of the of a cell family. With their differences and similarities‚ they’re just here for one solemnly purpose‚ to serve whatever type of organism they are present in. A Prokaryotic cell does not have

evolved into three groups‚ or domains‚ of closely related organisms: Archaea‚ Bacteria‚ and Eukaryota. Archaea and Bacteria are small‚ simple cells surrounded by a membrane and a cell wall‚ with a circular strand of DNA containing their genes. They do not contain a nucleus or other internal structures that higher cells may have. These are called prokaryotes. Basically all the life you see today‚ including plants and animals‚ belongs to the third domain‚ Eukaryota. Eukaryotic cells are more complex

Cells are made of tiny organelles that work together to help the cells live‚ just like organs in our body keep us alive. You must also remember that there are two types of cells. Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic. The differences are simple; Eukaryotic cells are more complex and have more organelles while Prokaryotic cells are simple and have little organelles

Introduction Using microscopes allows humans to see things they’ve otherwise would have never seen before‚ like cells. A cell is the basic unit of life. All living things are made of cells. All cells come from preexisting cells through a process called cellular division. There are two types of cells‚ eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are very simple and small. They are unicellular and have no membrane bound organelles. Their DNA is found directly in the cytoplasm since they have no nucleus
