Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Flashcards
(44 cards)
Have no membrane-bound organelles
Prokaryotic
Do not have a nucleus
Prokaryotic
It has unique organelles, such as pili, mainly used for DNA transfer
prokaryotic
Singular of pili
pilus
Also have fimbriae, which are shorter, more numerous, and function in adhering cells to surface.
prokaryotic
instead of a nucleus, prokaryote have a space called what?
nucleoid region
have an extra layer called a capsule
prokaryotic
have tiny circular dna called plasmids
prokaryotic
have membrane-bound organelles
eukaryotic
have nucleus
eukaryotic
have centrioles that are important in cell division
eukaryotic
eukaryotic cells have ___ that are important in cell division
centrioles
some have plasmodesmata which serve as intercellular connections
eukaryotic cell
serves as intercellular connections
plasmodesmata
similar parts of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, dna
simpler and less complex
prokaryotic
has a short, double-stranded, circular hoop of DNA located in the nucleoid region
prokaryotic
DNA supercoils to form a chromosome and does not involve proteins
DNA supercoils to form a chromosome and does not involve proteins
prokaryotic
the genetic material is also double-stranded and made up of DNA
eukaryotic
it is long and linear in form and is located inside the nucleus
Eukaryotic
DNA is coiled around histone proteins
eukaryotic
it also has non-coding regions known as introns, which are removed
eukaryote
non-coding regions also known as
introns
