Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Flashcards
Have no membrane-bound organelles
Prokaryotic
Do not have a nucleus
Prokaryotic
It has unique organelles, such as pili, mainly used for DNA transfer
prokaryotic
Singular of pili
pilus
Also have fimbriae, which are shorter, more numerous, and function in adhering cells to surface.
prokaryotic
instead of a nucleus, prokaryote have a space called what?
nucleoid region
have an extra layer called a capsule
prokaryotic
have tiny circular dna called plasmids
prokaryotic
have membrane-bound organelles
eukaryotic
have nucleus
eukaryotic
have centrioles that are important in cell division
eukaryotic
eukaryotic cells have ___ that are important in cell division
centrioles
some have plasmodesmata which serve as intercellular connections
eukaryotic cell
serves as intercellular connections
plasmodesmata
similar parts of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, dna
simpler and less complex
prokaryotic
has a short, double-stranded, circular hoop of DNA located in the nucleoid region
prokaryotic
DNA supercoils to form a chromosome and does not involve proteins
DNA supercoils to form a chromosome and does not involve proteins
prokaryotic
the genetic material is also double-stranded and made up of DNA
eukaryotic
it is long and linear in form and is located inside the nucleus
Eukaryotic
DNA is coiled around histone proteins
eukaryotic
it also has non-coding regions known as introns, which are removed
eukaryote
non-coding regions also known as
introns
the coding regions also known as
exons
introns and exons are among the factors that influence genetic diversity
eukaryote
large subunit of rna in prokaryotic
50s
large subunit of rna in eukaryote
60s
the smallest prokaryotic cell is around __ to ___ nanometers in diameter.
200, 300
The largest is around 100 to 300 micrometers in diameter
prokaryotic
the largest prokaryotic cell that is around 100 to 300 micrometers in diameter
thiomargarita namibiensis
almost all are unicellular while some are colonial or filamentous
prokaryotic
the smallest eukaryotic cell is around __ micrometer
0.8 micrometer
this is the largest eukaryotic cell that is around 33.6 meters or 33.6 billion nanometers.
blue whale
most are multicellular, but others are unicellular, like yeasts, amoebas, paramecia, and euglena
eukaryotic
examples of unicellular eukaryotic cells
yeasts, amoeba, paramecia, euglena
shapes of bacteria
spherical, rod-like, spiral
7 shapes of bacteria
spherical, rod-like, spiral, filamentous, box-shaped, appendaged, pleomorphic
usually undergo asexual reproduction through binary fission
prokaryotic
begins when the DNA begins to replicate at is origin, creating two origins
binary fission
the forming of two daughter cells, each of which is a complete organism
cytokinesis
some undergo asexual reproduction like budding in yeasts, fragmentation in sea stars, and vegetative reproduction in plants
eukaryotic
can undergo asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction, or both
eukaryotic
example of asexual reproduction in eukaryotic cell
budding in yeasts, fragmentation in sea stars, vegetative reproduction in plants
