Prokaryotic Vs Eukaryotic Flashcards
Eukaryotic cells
An organism whose cells contain a nucleus surrounded by a membrane and whose DNA is bound together by proteins (histones) into chromosomes. The cells of eukaryotes also contain an endoplasmic reticulum and numerous specialized organelles not present in prokaryotes, especially mitochondria, Golgi bodies, and lysosomes. Cell size- 10-100um
Differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic
Eukaryotic has a nucleus, pro doesn’t
Eukaryotic are usually multicellular, pro are usually unicellular
Euk- has mitochondria pro- no mitochondria
Euk- has Golgi apparatus pro- doesn’t
Euk has chloroplasts (in plants), pro doesn’t at all
What is an example of a eukaryotic cell
Plants and animals
What is an example of prokaryotic cells
Bacteria and archaea
Prokaryotic cells
Prokaryotes are unicellular. They are either bacteria or archaea. Prokaryotes are cells which do not have a cell nucleus, and lack other things eukaryotes (cells with a true nucleus) have. Prokaryotes do not have membranes inside the cell. Cell size - 1-10um
