What Makes Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells Different?

The fundamental differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are explored through their structural components and characteristics, highlighting their unique features and organization.

  • Characteristics of prokaryotic cells include smaller size (1-10 micrometers), presence of plasmids, and a nuclear area without a membrane-bound nucleus
  • Examples of bacteria as prokaryotes demonstrate simpler cellular organization with fewer organelles
  • Characteristics of eukaryotic cells showcase larger size (10-100 micrometers), membrane-bound organelles, and complex internal structures
  • Examples of animal/plant cells as eukaryotes illustrate advanced cellular organization with specialized compartments

Cellular Organization: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

The fundamental differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are detailed through their structural components and organizational features. Prokaryotic cells exhibit a simpler structure with essential components like circular DNA, ribosomes, and cell wall, while eukaryotic cells display a more complex organization with membrane-bound organelles.

Definition: Prokaryotic cells are primitive cells lacking a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, typically found in bacteria.

Example: Bacteria represent classic examples of prokaryotic cells, demonstrating their basic cellular structure.

Vocabulary: Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules separate from the main bacterial chromosome.

Highlight: Eukaryotic cells contain specialized organelles including rough ER, Golgi bodies, mitochondria, and a membrane-bound nucleus, making them more complex than prokaryotic cells.

Definition: Eukaryotic cells are advanced cells containing membrane-bound organelles and a true nucleus, found in animals and plants.

The size difference between these cell types is significant, with prokaryotic cells measuring 1-10 micrometers and eukaryotic cells ranging from 10-100 micrometers. This size difference reflects their complexity and evolutionary development.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

very reliable app to help and grow your ideas of Maths, English and other related topics in your works. please use this app if your struggling in areas, this app is key for that. wish I'd of done a review before. and it's also free so don't worry about that.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.

This apps acc the goat. I find revision so boring but this app makes it so easy to organize it all and then you can ask the freeeee ai to test yourself so good and you can easily upload your own stuff. highly recommend as someone taking mocks now
