Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells Flashcards
basic unit of life
cell
cells are small in size in order to maintain a large – ratio
surface area to volume
large surface area to volume ratio allows cells to perform vital functions at a reasonably – rate which is necessary for survival
fast
– cells are relatively larger
eukaryotic
organelles are absent in – cells
prokaryotic
eukaryotic cells have – pieces of DNA organized as chromosomes within the nucleus
linear
prokaryotic cells have a single loop of DNA floating in the –
cytoplasm
eukaryotic cells generally need – to produce energy during cellular respiration
oxygen
T/F: prokaryotic cels may not require oxygen to produce energy during cellular respiration
true
eukaryotic ribosome
80S (60S and 40S subunit)
prokaryotic ribosome
70S (50S and 30S subunit)
histone proteins are only present in – cells
eukaryotic
more complex (9+2) flagella and possibility of cilia and amoebic movement
eukaryotic cells
