what are similarities and differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
57801
Like a prokaryotic cell, a eukaryotic cell has a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes, but a eukaryotic cell is typically larger than a prokaryotic cell, has a true nucleus (meaning its DNA is surrounded by a membrane), and has other membrane-bound organelles that allow for compartmentalization of functions.
876077
Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus that contains genetic information called DNA, while prokaryotic cells do not. In prokaryotic cells, the DNA just floats around in the cell.

What is the Difference Between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Genome? Organisms are two types either prokaryotes or eukaryotes. Prokaryotes have a simple cell organization while eukaryotes have a complex cell organization. Similar to that, prokaryotic genome is small and less complex compared to eukaryotic genome.

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are the same because they both have cell membranes, cytoplasm, and contain DNA. ... Prokaryotic cells store their DNA in the nucleus. Since eukaryotic cells have no nucleus, their DNA is stored in the cytoplasm.
99123
Prokaryotic cells are quite simple in structure. They have no nucleus, no organelles and a small amount of DNA in the form of a single, circular chromosome. Eukaryotic cells on the other hand, have a nucleus, multiple organelles and more DNA arranged in multiple, linear chromosomes.

In contrast to prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells are highly organized. Bacteria and Archaea are prokaryotes, while all other living organisms are eukaryotes. Amoebae are eukaryotes whose bodies most often consist of a single cell.
571788
Eukaryotic cells are generally bigger — up to 10 times bigger, on average, than prokaryotes. Their cells also hold much more DNA than prokaryotic cells do.
814849
Eukaryotic cells are larger, more complex and more evolutionarily recent than prokaryotes. Whereas prokaryotes are bacteria and Archaea, eukaryotes are literally everything else ... amoebae, earthworms, mushrooms, grass, bugs, you.
749341
Eukaryotic cells are larger than prokaryotic cells and have a “true” nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, and rod-shaped chromosomes. The nucleus houses the cell's DNA and directs the synthesis of proteins and ribosomes.
561452
Which characteristic is shared by all prokaryotes and eukaryotes? A - All prokaryotes and eukaryotes contain nucleic acids, which store hereditary information. eukaryotic cells? difference in size.
71300
The common features of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are: DNA, the genetic material contained in one or more chromosomes and located in a nonmembrane bound nucleoid region in prokaryotes and a membrane-bound nucleus in eukaryotes.
1442936
which two structures are common to both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? - Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles. Due to the lack of organelles they are smaller in size. - Eukaryotes have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles, and therefore are larger.
47257
Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not. Differences in cellular structure of prokaryotes and eukaryotes include the presence of mitochondria and chloroplasts, the cell wall, and the structure of chromosomal DNA.
246843
The primary distinction between these two types of organisms is that eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not. The nucleus is where eukaryotes store their genetic information. ... Prokaryotes, on the other hand, have no membrane-bound organelles.

Prokaryotic Cell. ... Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not. Differences in cellular structure of prokaryotes and eukaryotes include the presence of mitochondria and chloroplasts, the cell wall, and the structure of chromosomal DNA.

In contrast to prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells are highly organized. Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotes, while all other living organisms — protists, plants, animals and fungi — are eukaryotes. Many diverse organisms including algae, amoebas, ciliates (such as paramecium) fit the general moniker of protist.
1388977
The most important difference is that in prokaryotes the nucleus is naked ie not bound by a nuclear membrane whereas in eukaryotes the nucleus is bound by a double layered nuclear membrane. ... Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-enclosed nucleus which contains the genetic material.
