Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic Cells

Question

Question

Write down the differences between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells.

Answer 1

Answer #1

Base	Prokaryotic Cells	Eukaryotic Cells
Cell Type	Unicellular	Multi-cellular
Cell Wall	Complex: present in all prokaryotes	Simple: present in plants and fungi
Membrane-bound organelles	Prokaryotic Cells don’t possess nucleus and membrane-bound organelles	Eukaryotic Cells possess membrane-bound organelles including the nucleus
Diameter	These cells’ diameter is 0.2 – 2.0 μm	These cells’ diameter is 10 – 100 μm
Nucleus	Absent(nucleoid region)	Present(membrane bound)
DNA Replication	Replicates entire genome at once	Highly regulated with selective origins and sequences
Chromosomes	One long single loop of DNA and plasmids	Multiple chromosomes
Cellular Respiration	Occur in mesosome	Occur in mitochondria
Examples	Animals, plants, fungi and protists cells	Bacteria and archaea
