Prokaryotes Vs Eukaryotes

Draw a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic cell and list 3 differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Be creative in drawing, but be detailed! (1.5 point)

Bacteria and Archaea are prokaryotic, which are mostly single-celled incomplex microorganisms. Both Bacteria and Archaea have a variety of prokaryotes classified in multiple kingdoms (Reece, et al., Campbell Biology, 2014). There are a number of scientists who believe that Archaea cells may be the precursor to Eukaryotic cells and that they have more in common with Eukaryotes than Prokaryotes (Madigan, Martinko, & Dunlap, 2009).

Eukaryotes have an enclosed nucleus with paired DNA. Intracellular structures in prokaryotes have plasma membrane and lacks sterols. Eukaryotes have sterols with plasma membrane. Both have a cell membrane. Prokaryotes have a cell wall.

One major difference (and one often used to distinguish the two) is the lack of a

Within prokaryotes and eukaryotes there are various similarities, but also differences. First, prokaryotes are cells without a true nucleus. Instead they have a nucleoid that houses their DNA. Eukaryotes on the other hand are cells with a nucleus and a nuclear membrane. Along with the nuclear membrane, eukaryotes also have membrane bound organelles. These organelles allow for complex compartmentalization. Prokaryotes have no membrane bound organelles, which causes them to be simplistic and lack internal compartmentalization. Prokaryotes and eukaryotes both have a cell wall that determines their shape and protects the cell. However, the cell walls differ in structure. Eukaryotes do not have peptidoglycan in their cell wall, whereas some prokaryotes

I believe eukaryotes are more advanced than prokaryotes. The reasons I see eukaryote more advanced is because of many reasons one of those reasons is eukaryotes can be a single or multi- celled heterotroph or autotroph. While prokaryotes are only single-celled heterotrophic organisms. Also, eukaryotes have so much going on inside of them with so many different components. Prokaryotes have some going on inside of the cell not nearly as much as eukaryote do. Eukaryotes can reproduce offspring that is not identical to the parent and prokaryotes only clone themselves to reproduce. Theses are just some of the reasons why eukaryotes are

Both of them are composed of cells, which are surrounded by a cell membrane and cytoplasm. Both have flagella. Prokaryotes have protein building blocks, while Eukaryotes has multiple microtubules. Both have cell wall. On Prokaryotes it includes peptidoglycan and is chemically complex while in eukaryotes it is chemically simple. The DNA in prokaryotes exists in a space called nucleoid and it is circular DNA while eukaryotes have linear DNA and it is organized into a higher-order structure. Both have ribosomes that are used for translation of RNA into proteins. Both of them can perform transport, DNA replication, transcription, translation, and movement. Although, they have similarities, most are carried out within organelles in eukaryotes.

cells. Evidence of endosymbiosis is exemplified through the salient similarities between prokaryotes and mitochondria . Mitochondria and prokaryotic cells both possess identifiable cell membranes, with each mitochondrion having its own circular DNA genome (Purdom, 2006) that is similar to, but smaller than a bacteria's genome.This DNA is received by the offspring from

It is true that Protists have specialized organelles that cannot be found in other eukaryotic cells. According to OpenStax (2015), most protists are unicellular microscopic organisms that can be found in the soil, freshwater, and marine environments. It is all about the environment for some eukaryotes. For instance, there is a general concept that eukaryotes have a mitochondrion which serves as the powerhouse of the cell. However, when the environment in which the eukaryote is located lack sufficient oxygen, they also lack mitochondria and instead enclose an alternative form of an organelle called a hydrogenosome (Embley et al., 2003). This organelle is present in Trichomonas Vaginalis, a primitive protist (Johnson, Lahti & Bradley, 1993).

Prokaryotic cells only really refer to bacteria, while eukaryotic cells include animals, plants, protists, and fungi. The prokaryotes do not have a nucleus or any membrane-covered organelles, but eukaryotes do. Instead, the prokaryotes have a nucleoid because they have a smaller, circular DNA genome, whereas eukaryotic

It is evidently known that the cell is the basic unit of life. Cells are microscopic, membrane-bound units which contain biomolecules allowing them to carry out functions, sustain life and self-replicate. Although every living cell comes under one of the 6 kingdoms in the biological taxonomy of living organisms, the two most distinct types of cells are eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotes (pre-nucleus) are single-celled organisms which do not contain a nucleus nor do they have any membrane-bound organelles within them. Eukaryotes (literally meaning “true nucleus”) were developed many years after prokaryotes and can either be single-celled or multi-cellular organisms.

Prokaryotes were defined in 1962 by Stanier and van Niel as “anucleate cells, without membrane enclosed organelles of respiration or photosynthesis, divided by fission not mitosis, and used peptidoglycan to strengthen their walls” (Mayr, 1998). This definition and the creation of the prokaryote/eukaryote dichotomy served to highlight the diversity and significance of the single-celled organisms previously labelled ‘Monera’ and relegated to the same kingdom status as the distinct groups of plants animals and fungi (Sapp, 2009; Woese, Kandler and

Another thing Eukaryotes have that Prokaryotes don’t is a membrane bound organelles. The DNA of Eukaryotes is more extensive and complex. The DNA of prokaryotes floats freely around the cell while the DNA of Eukaryotes is held in the nucleus. They both deal with different types of living

Cells are the basic components of all living things. Both the prokaryotic and the eukaryotic cell contain a plasma membrane, a cytoplasm, DNA, and ribosomes. One of the main differences between a eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell is that a prokaryotic cell lacks a nucleus, (pro means before and kary means nucleus) and it also lacks membrane-bound organelles. Instead of having a nucleus, prokaryotes have a single chromosome. This chromosome is often referred to as a gonophore. Due to prokaryotes being single celled, the inside of a prokaryotic cell is full of open space, meaning they do not contain any membrane walls. The prokaryotic cell makes up all bacteria and bacteria-like archaea (germs).

The eukaryotic cell and prokaryotic cells are alike in many ways, Some ways they are alike is that they have DNA as their genetic material , membrane bound, have ribosomes, similar basic metabolism, and amazingly diverse in forms. This is the twin like feature that they have. The eukaryotic cell and prokaryotic cells differ in way to
