Question

How is a prokaryotic cell different from a
eukaryotic cells

Answer 1

Answer:

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 where eukaryotes store their genetic information. ... Prokaryotes, on the other hand, have no membrane-bound organelles.

Answer 2

prokaryotic cell different from a eukaryotic cell in the following ways :-

Prokaryotic cell⸻➤

1. Size is generally small (0.5 - 10um).
2. Nuclear region is not surrounded by a Nuclear membrane.
3. Membrane bound organelles such as mitochondria, Lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum are absent.
4. Nucleous absent.
5. Cell division is by fission or budding ( but no mittosis )
6. They always have a single chromosome.
7. DNA is circular and lies free in the cytoplasm ( not true nucleus)
8. DNA is naked ( not associated with proteins or RNA to form chromosomes .

Eukaryotic cell ⸻➤

1. They are larger in size ( 1- 100um).
2. Nuclear region is surrounded by a nuclear membrane.
3. All the membrane bound organelles are present.
4. Nucleus present.
5. cell division is mitotic or meiotic.
6. They have more than one chromosome.
7. DNA is Linear and contained in a nucleus.
8. DNA is associated with protein and RNA to form chromosomes.
