Cell - Structure and Functions

Question:

State the difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes.

Answer:

Prokaryotes:Most prokaryotes are unicellular. The nucleus is poorly defined due to the absence of a nuclear membrane. Nucleolus is absent Cell organelles such as plastids, mitochondria, golgi bodies, etc. are absent. Bacteria and blue-green algae are prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotes:Most eukaryotes are multicellular. The nucleus is well defined and is surrounded by a nuclear membrane. Nucleolus is present. Cell organelles such as plastids, mitochondria, golgi bodies, Etc. are present. Fungi, plant and animal cells are eukaryotic cells.
