Question

Differentiate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Answer 1

Prokaryotic cells are cells having single chromosome whereas Eukaryotic cells have more than 1 chromosome.
Well defined organelles are not present in Prokaryotic cell but they are present in Eukaryotic cell.

Answer 2

Prokaryotic cells lack a well defined nucleus.

Their nucleus is devoid of any nuclear membrane as a result of which all the nuclear materials are scattered in the cytoplasm.

These type of cells are present in bacteria and other unicellular organisms

Eukaryotic cells are those which lack a well-defined nucleus.

Their nucleus consists of a proper nuclear membrane and thus the nuclear materials and the cytoplasmic materials are all separated.

These type of cells are present in higher organisms like human beings.
