Q

What are some characteristics of prokaryotic cells?

A

smaller and simpler in structure
high surface area to volume ratio which makes it easy for molecules to move across the membrane and for the cell to use the molecules and nutrients to utilize them for cellular functions

Q

What are some characteristics of eukaryotic cells?

A

bigger and more complex
a smaller surface area ratio which makes it more difficult for molecules to be used for cellular functions. Organelles tackle this.
