Describe cell on the basis of its complexity that is prokaryotic and eukaryotic
Answers
Cell is the basic building unit of life;by eukaryotic we mean it has well defined nucleus; but in the case of prokaryotic cell;nucleus is not membrane bound.
Prokaryotes cells are simple, small cells, but eukaryotic cells are complex, large structured and are present in trillions which can be single celled or multicellular. Prokaryotic cells do not have a well-defined nucleus but DNA molecule is located inside the cell, termed as nucleoid, whereas eukaryotic cells have a well-defined nucleus, where genetic material is stored. Based on the structure and functions, cells are broadly classified as Prokaryotic cell and Eukaryotic cell .
Prokaryotic Cells are the most primitive kind of cells and lack some of the features as compared to the eukaryotic cell. Eukaryotic cells have evolved from prokaryotic cells only but contain different types of organelles like Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi body, Mitochondria etc, which are specific in their functions. But features like growth, response, and most importantly giving birth to the young ones are the commonly shared by all living organisms.
