Eukaryotic And Prokatyotic Cells Flashcards

1
Q

Eukarotic cells

A

These are animal and plants cells (as an example), they contain all the features such as a nucleus with genetic material, a cell membrane and ribosomes

Q

Prokaryotic Cells

A

These cells (unlike eukaryotic) don’t contain a nucleus however the gentic material is still present inside the cell, it’s just loose. An example of a prokaryotic cell (who have different features to eukaryotic) is bacteria.

Q

Plasmids (only Prokaryotic)

A

Plasmids act as denfense and may contain genes that enhance the survival of the organism. They do this by sometimes killing other organisms and/or defending their cell.
