Prokaryotic And Eukaryotic Flashcards
Do prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have a nucleus
Prokaryotic doesn’t not
Eukaryotic does
how is Prokaryotic DNA organised
DNA is packaged differently to eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells one molecule of DNA, a chromosome which is super coiled.
how is Eukaryotic DNA organised
DNA Present in the nucleus with multiple chromosomes which are wrapped around proteins
Are prokaryotic cells membrane bound
No however eukaryotic cells are membrane bound. They have mitochondria and chloroplast etc.
Are prokaryotic multicellular or unicellular
Prokaryotic are unicellular while eukaryotic are multicellular.
Do prokaryotic have large or small ribosomes
Prokaryotic has cells have small ribosomes that are 20nm or less. While eukaryotic have larger ribosomes that are over 20nm.
Do prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells have cell walls
Prokaryotic cells have cell walls made of polysaccharides while eukaryotic cells have some cell walls. They have cell walls of cellulose in plant cells, and chitin in fungi.
