eukaryotic vs prokaryotic cells

Question 1

give the similarities between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells

Answer 1

both contain:
- cell membrane
- cytoplasm
- ribosomes

Question 2

give the differences between eukaryotic prokaryotic cells

Answer 2

prokaryotic:
- small cells and always unicellular
- no membrane bound organelles
- no nucleus: instead circular DNA not associated with proteins
- small ribosomes - 70S
- reproduce asexually via binary fission
- contain capsule, and sometimes plasmids and cytoskeleton
- cell wall made of murein/peptidoglycan

eukaryotic:
- larger cells, often multicellular
- always have membrane bound organelles and nucleus
- linear DNA / chromosomes associated with histones
- larger ribosomes - 80S
- reproduce sexually or asexually via meiosis and mitosis
- no capsule or plasmids, always have a cytoskeleton
- no cell walls in animals, made of chitin in fungi and cellulose in plants
