Question

What structures are used to tell prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells apart?

Answer 1

The trouble people have in differentiating the two comes solely in the fact that the root of the words are misleading. Prokaryotes, well the first three letters throw you off but it is actually the opposite. They don't have a nucleus. A way to remember is that "pro" means "no" (in this case only). The following steps will help you not only to separate the two but also remember how.

Answer 2

1Load the specimen cell on to the glass slide.

2.Dilute the specimen with water.

3.Put another glass slide or cover slip on top of the specimen.

4.Place the slide with the specimen enclosed in it under the microscope.

5.Turn it to lowest magnification level.

6,Focus the image.

7.Look through the tube at the specimen cell.
If the cell is a Prokaryote, it will have a cell membrane as well as cytoplasm. It does not contain a nucleus though. Also the genetic material is a simple circle called a plasmid. All bacteria are Prokaryotes. A example of this is Escherichia coli (E. coli), which lives in your intestines. Also Staphylococcus aureus, which can cause skin infections.
If it is a Eukaryote, it will contain a nucleus. A good way to recognize a eukaryote is the large amounts of specialized structures, called organelles. Organelles perform specialized tasks. Although some live solitary as single-celled organisms, there are more types that are multicellular organisms. All animals, plants and microorganisms are Eukaryotes. Eukaryotes have a cell membrane and a cytoplasm.

Answer 3

Whaaat? Why did you include the procedure to an experiment?

Answer 4

Too justify my answer

Answer 5

No. all the stuff above the last paragraph is irrelevant.

Answer 6

well it was just an excess bit
