Prokaryotic VS Eukaryotic Flashcards
oldest type
small and simple
lack nucleus and organelles
single-celled
single circular chromosome
prokaryotes
evolved from prokaryotes
larger and complex
contain nucleus and organelles
single celled or multicellular
multiple linear chromosomes
eukaryotes
have DNA, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and plasma membrane
both prokaryotes and eukaryotes
receptor, the adhesive also providing protection protection to the cell wall
glycocalyx
location of genetic material (DNA)
nucleoid
hair like hollow attachment at the surface of the bacteria , transfers DNA to other cells during cell to cell adhesion
pilus
extension of cell membrane, for cellular respiration
mesosomes
helps in movement
flagellum
provides rigidity and support for the cell
cell wall
helps in attachment with other bacteria while mating
fimbrae
storage of carbohydrates, glycogen, phosphates, fats
inclusion/granules
helps in protein synthesis
ribosomes
regulates the flow of materials
cell membrane
helps in surviving during harsh conditions
endosphere
found in algae and plants, in charge in converting energy sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis
chloroplast
