Prokaryotic Cells
Prokaryote is a cell or an organism that lacks a nucleus and other membrane enclosed organelles and most of their DNA is a single circular molecule.
All bacteria are prokaryotic cells.
The word "prokaryote" means "before the nucleus"
- Prokaryotes Vs Eukaryotes
While eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells have some characteristics in common, they diverged from their common ancestor billions of years ago, thus accounting for significant differences in overall structure and function. Here we will go over them....
- Q: Compare And Contrast The Prokaryotic And Eukaryotic Genomes
The eukaryotic genome is diploid but the prokaryotic genome is haploid. The eukaryotic genome has multiple origins of replication but the prokaryotic genome has only one origin of replication. The eukaryotic genome may have more than one chromosome but...
- Eukaryote Transcription Vs. Prokaryote Transcription
Different Types of Transcription? Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes are different in so many ways but also the same. I explained a lot of the same and different ways in the "Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Cells" post. One thing I did not describe was the transcription...
- #5. Plan Diagrams Of Tissue And Organ, Prokaryotic And Eukariotic Cells
An organ usually contains many different types of cells. These are arranged in a particular pattern characteristic of the organ, with cells of a similar type found together, forming distinctive tissues. A plan diagram shows the distribution...
- Orgin Of Eukaryotes
News feature article on the Orgin of Eukaryotes Cells BREAKING NEWS: We have discovered the ancestors of the eukaryote cells. The Eukaryotic cells wasn't the earliest form of cell, but originated from it's ancestor the prokaryotic cells. There...

Eukaryotic Cells
Eukaryote refers to a cell or an organism having a unite membrane enclosed nucleus and usually with organelles.
Protozoans, Fungi, Plants, and Animals are all eukaryotic.
The word "Eukaryote" came means "True Nucleus"

Similarities:
The common features of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are:
- 1. DNA, the genetic material contained in one or more chromosomes and located in a nonmembrane bound nucleoid region in prokaryotes and a membrane-bound nucleus in eukaryotes
- 2. Plasma membrane, a phospholipid bilayer with proteins that separates the cell from the surrounding environment and functions as a selective barrier for the import and export of materials
- 3. Cytoplasm, the rest of the material of the cell within the plasma membrane, excluding the nucleoid region or nucleus, that consists of a fluid portion called the cytosol and the organelles and other particulates suspended in it
- 4. Ribosomes, the organelles on which protein synthesis takes place
