Compare/Contrast Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes Flashcards
1
Q
Similarities of prokaryotes and eukaryotes
A
Have ribosomes Have plasma membrane Have cytoplasm Have genetic material Both have characteristics of living things (Reproduce, Metabolize, Respond to stimuli, Grow, Adapt, Organized, Have movement)
2
Q
Differences of prokaryotes
A
mostly single celled organisms Do not contain nucleus or any other membrane bound organelle DNA in a ring and can have plasmids No mitochondria No mitosis/meiosis Typically small Mainly bacteria and archaea Have operons Binary fission for reproduction
3
Q
Differences of eukaryotes
A
multicellular organisms -Found in animals, plants, fungi and protists Nucleus Central DNA Membraned organelles Golgi apparatus Mitochondria Endoplasmic reticulum Lysosomes Vacuoles Chloroplasts Peroxisomes Cell wall Cytoskeleton Generally larger Linear DNA Reproduction of cells: mitosis, meiosis Mostly multicellular organisms; yeast = single celled More related to archaea than eubacteria
