Name three way prokaryotic cells differ from eukaryotic cells.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Eukaryotes contain membrane-bound nuclei and other organelles, while prokaryotes lack this membrane-bound nucleus. Prokaryotes are most always single-celled, except when they exist in colonies, where as eukaryotes are multicellular. Eukaryotic DNA is linear; prokaryotic DNA is circular (it has no ends).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Prokaryotes have no nucleus but eukaryotes have prokaryotes have circular chromosome, eukaryotes have linear chromosome prokaryotes have 70s ribosome, but eukaryotes have both 70s and 80s ribosome prokaryotes' cell division is binary fission but eukaryotes' cell division is mitosis prokaryotes have one type of RNA polymerase but eukaryotes have 3 types prokaryotes have no junk DNA (eg intron, parasitic DNA) but eukaryotes have prokaryotes are small because it's diffusion limited, eukaryotes are large so they use cytoplasmic streaming

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the simple differences are:- 1. prokaryotic cells are represented by bacteria , algae and PPLO... while eukaryotic cells include plants, protists, animals.. 2. In pro.cells gentic material is naked while in euka. cells genetic material is organised into chromosomes. 3. pro. cells do not have cell organelles( mitochondria, golgibody,E.R etc) while euka. cells have all cell organelles.
