    Prokaryotic Cell VS Eukaryotic Cell

    Uploaded by

    ATAY, JUSTINE MAVE S.
    The document compares and contrasts prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have a true nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do. Some key differences are that prokaryotic cells are smaller, have DNA not associated with histones, divide via binary fission, have a simpler cell wall, and do not have membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells are generally larger, have DNA associated with histones, divide via mitosis or meiosis, have a more complex cell wall, and have membrane-bound organelles with transcription occurring in the nucleus and translation in the cytoplasm.

    PROKARYOTIC CELL VS.

    EUKARYOTIC CELL

    I. DEFINITION OF TERMS

    Prokaryotes – organisms which do not have true nucleus. These organisms have prokaryotic cell. Pro
    means “before”, karyum means “kernel or nut” which refers to the nucleus.

    Prokaryotic – having a characteristic of being a prokaryote

    Examples of Prokaryotes:

    1. Bacteria (coccus, bacillus, streptococcus (sing.), staphylococcus (plu.))

    Eukaryotes – organisms that have true nucleus. Eu means “true”.

    Examples of Eukaryotes:

    1. Plants
    2. Animals
    3. Humans
    4. Fungi
    5. Protozoans
    6. Algae

    2 TYPES OF EUKARYOTIC CELL :

    1. Plant Cell

    2. Animal Cell

    II. COMPARISON

    INDICATORS PROKARYOTIC CELL EUKARYOTIC CELL

    SIZE Smaller Large; some vary in size


    DNA Not associated with histories Associated with histories
    DIVISION Usually by binary fission Mitosis/Meiosis
    CELL WALL Simple Complex
    ORGANELLES Not membrane bond Membrane bond
    TRANSCRIPT AND Occurs together Transcription happens in the
    TRANSLATION nucleus while translation
    happens in cytoplasm
