Question

Four differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell

Answer 1

Explanation:

Prokaryotes:

1. Prokaryotes have simple, small cells.

2. Prokaryotes do not have a well defined nucleus.

3. Genetic material is stored in the nucleoid.

4. Smaller than eukaryotic cells

5. Lack cell organelles like ER, Golgi bodies etc.

6. Cells divide by binary fission.

Eukaryotes

1. Eukaryotes usually have complex and large structures.

2. Eukaryotes have a well defined nucleus.

3. Genetic material is stored in the nucleus.

4. Larger than prokaryotic cells.

5. Have cell organelles like ER, Golgi bodies etc.

6. Cells divide by mitosis.

Answer 2

The primary distinction between these two types of organisms is that eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not. ... The nucleus is only one of many membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotes. Prokaryotes, on the other hand, have no membrane-bound organelles.
