what are the function of prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
150890
Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes have ribosomes. Ribosomes are not a membrane-bound organelle, but in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, they are used for translation of RNA into proteins. Eukaryotes and prokaryotes can both perform transport, DNA replication, transcription, translation, and movement.

Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms belonging to the domains Bacteria and Archaea. Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells, have no nucleus, and lack organelles. All prokaryotic cells are encased by a cell wall.

What are the key differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic chromosomes? Prokaryotes have a single circular chromosome that is attached at one site to the cell membrane, whereas eukaryotic cells have free-floating linear chromosomes within a cell nucleus.

Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes Bacteria are single-celled, prokaryotic organisms. ... Like plants and animals, bacteria must be able to carry out basic functions of life within their cells. Some of the same organelles are found in plant cells, animal cells and bacteria cells, including ribosomes, cytoplasm and cell membranes.
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.

In Summary: Comparing Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells All prokaryotes have plasma membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, a cell wall, DNA, and lack membrane-bound organelles. Many also have polysaccharide capsules. Prokaryotic cells range in diameter from 0.1–5.0 µm.

Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms belonging to the domains Bacteria and Archaea. Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells, have no nucleus, and lack organelles. ... Flagella and some pili are used for locomotion, fimbriae help the cell stick to a surface, and sex pili are used for DNA exchange.
15833
Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus and have membrane bound organelles, Prokaryotic doesn't. ... Both contain DNA, has a cell membrane,has cytoplasm, has ribosomes, and cell wall (eukar-plant only).

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.
292783
Eukaryotic cells are generally larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells. They also contain a variety of cellular bodies called organelles. The organelles function in the activities of the cell and are compartments for localizing metabolic function.
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.
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.
8255
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have a plasma membrane, a double layer of lipids that separates the cell interior from the outside environment. This double layer consists largely of specialized lipids called phospholipids.
309781
All cells, whether they are prokaryotic or eukaryotic, have some common features. 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.
425592
The word "prokaryote" is derived from Greek words that mean "before nucleus." Prokaryotic cells contain fewer organelles or functional components than do eukaryotic cells. Their four main structures are the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes and genetic material (DNA and RNA).
74523
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.
