what are the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryote cells?
Look in your course material or check Google and/or Wikipedia. You'll find all the information you need.
If you learn prefixes and suffixes you can figure out a whole lot of the names for basic biology things. For example, pro means "before" Eu means "good" karyo means "nucleus" So if you put those together, prokaryote means "before a nucleus" and Eukaryote means "good nucleus". Therefore you can deduce that prokaryotes do not have a nucleus and eukaryotes do. There are MILLIONS of other differences but that would take a pHd for me, or most anyone, to understand so I reaffirm Calliope's point that you should look in your book as that would be the best judge for what you need to know.
Differences: 1. Prokaryotes have a primitive nucleus. The genetic material is in direct contact with the cytoplasm and is called nucleoid whereas in eukaryotes there is a well developed membrane bound nucleus. 2. There is only one chromosome in prokaryotes but usually more than two in eukaryotes. 3. Membrane bound organelles are absent in prokaryotes, present in eukaryotes. 4. Prokaryotes are generally smaller than eukaryotes. There are many many more differences that you can easily get through google.
all responses are reasonable and classic textbook type. but the attached material give a new insight about the classification between the two, and will break it down for you :) http://finedrafts.com/files/Beckers%20World%20of%20Cell/CH4%20Cells%20and%20Organelles.pdf
yeah it did
Eukaryotes have a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles while prokaryotes don’t. Eukaryotes can be multicellular whole prokaryotes are always unicellular. http://in.docsity.com/en-docs/Eukaryotes_and_Prokaryotes_-_Cells_and_Genetics_-_Solved_Quiz_
