what are the differences in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?
1247
There are several differences between the two, but the biggest distinction between them is that eukaryotic cells have a distinct nucleus containing the cell's genetic material, while prokaryotic cells don't have a nucleus and have free-floating genetic material instead.
1219432
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA undergo replication by the enzyme DNA polymerase. The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA is that prokaryotic DNA is found in the cytoplasm whereas eukaryotic DNA is packed into the nucleus of the cell.

Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. Prokaryotic cells have a small, simple structure compared to eukaryotic cells. ... Prokaryotic cells have only: prokaryotic flagella, pili, capsule, cell wall, plasma membrane, ribosomes, and nucleoid region with DNA.
51081
Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic. Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms, but it is worth noting unicellular eukaryotes also exist (Protozoa). Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles (such as the nucleus) while prokaryotic cells do not. Plant cells have a cell wall while animal cells do not.
192192
The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that a. prokaryotic cells are always much larger. ... eukaryotic cells have a smaller cell nucleus.
268282
There are two cell types: prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotic cells are usually single-celled and smaller than eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells are usually found in multicellular organisms, but there are some single-celled eukaryotes.
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.
21592
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have structures in common. All cells have a plasma membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and DNA. The plasma membrane, or cell membrane, is the phospholipid layer that surrounds the cell and protects it from the outside environment.
345281
Eukaryotes consist of membrane bound nucleus whereas prokaryotes lack a membranebound nucleus. Prokaryotic DNA is doublestranded and circular. ... The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA is that prokaryotic DNA is found in the cytoplasm whereas eukaryotic DNA is packed into the nucleus of the cell.
620284
Like a prokaryotic cell, a eukaryotic cell has a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes. However, unlike prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells have: a membrane-bound nucleus.
1394059
Comparing prokaryotes and eukaryotes The primary distinction between these two types of organisms is that eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not. ... Prokaryotes, on the other hand, have no membrane-bound organelles. Another important difference is the DNA structure.
1398757
Terms in this set (7) Which of the following expresses an accurate difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? a. Prokaryotes are can be multicellular, but eukaryotes cannot. ... Prokaryotes have organelles, but eukaryotes do not.
1006347
For example, prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus. Prokaryotic cells lack internal cellular bodies (organelles), while eukaryotic cells possess them.
653589
What do Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells have in common? They both have DNA, they're both cells, both have ribosomes, and both have a cell membrane.
1338215
Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells, have no nucleus, and lack organelles. All prokaryotic cells are encased by a cell wall.
1286927
Eukaryotes and prokaryotes both have DNA, but it is only enclosed in a membrane in eukaryotic cells. ... In general, prokaryotic cells do not have a true nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, whereas eukaryotic cells contain both a nucleus and organelles enclosed by membranes.
1073704
What is the primary difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? Eukaryotic cells have a cell membrane surrounding the cell, whereas prokaryotic cells have a cell wall. Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound compartments called organelles, whereas prokaryotic cells do not.
