Differentiate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Answer (2)
There are differences between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells. This difference is considered to be the most important distinction between groups of organisms. A Prokaryotic cell does not contain a nucleus. It only contains one chromosome and is a single-celled organism. It was the only form of life on earth for millions of years. Examples of a Prokaryotic cell are the different types of bacteria present today. A Eukaryotic cell contains a nucleus; more than one chromosome and is typically a multi-celled organism. Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic cells.
Prokaryotic cells are simpler and lack a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells are more complex and contain a true nucleus along with membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells are typically smaller and reproduce asexually, whereas eukaryotic cells can be unicellular or multicellular and reproduce both sexually and asexually. Examples of prokaryotes include bacteria, and examples of eukaryotes include plants and animals.
