Q

Eukaryotic cells

A

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

A

Euk- has mitochondria pro- no mitochondria
Euk- has Golgi apparatus pro- doesn’t
Euk has chloroplasts (in plants), pro doesn’t at all

Q

Prokaryotic cells

A

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
