Question
1. The basic functional unit of life is the cell. As we learned about during the first week of class, there are two main cell types: Prokaryotic cells (bacteria, archaebacteria) and Eukaryotic cells (animals, plants, fungi protists). Fill in the following table below concerning the similarities and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells For each of the following indicate whether it is found in a Prokaryotic Cell, Eukaryotic Cell, or Both. If it is only found in some Eukaryotic cells indicate which type (Animal, Plant) Plasma Membrane DNA (if yes, where is it found in the cell?) RNA Membrane Bound Organelles (ex. Nucleus, Mitochondria etc.) Ribosomes Cell Wall Capsule CytosolExplanation / Answer
1.Plasmamembrane found in both
2. DNA found in both, but in prokaryotes it found directly in cytoplasm and in eyokaryotes is found in nucleus.
3. RNA found in both but in prokaryotes only one type of RNA is there but in eukaryotes rRNA mRNS tRNA are present
4. In eukaryotes membrane bound organelles are there like Golgi bodies , ER etc but in prokaryotes membrane bound organelles are absent.
5. Ribosome are present in both
6. Cell wall is present in prokaryotes ,in eukaryotes it is only present in plants and fungi .
7. Capsule only formed by prokaryotes.
8. .cytosol is present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
