Let me share with you a comparison between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.
Aspect | Prokaryotes | Eukaryotes |
Definition
| · Single-celled organisms that lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. | · These are multicellular organisms with a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. |
Ribosomes | · 70S | · 80S |
Genetic Material | · Circular DNA,with no histones; plasmids may be present | · Linear DNA with histones and multiple chromosomes |
Cytoplasmic Structure | · Less complex cytoplasm | · Complex cytoplasm with cytoskeleton |
Endomembrane System | · Absent | · Present |
Type of reproduction | · Asexual reproduction mainly through binary fission. | · Asexual and sexual reproduction both through mitosis and meiosis. |
Metabolism | · Mostly anaerobic | · Aerobic and anaerobic metabolism |
Examples | · Bacteria · Archaea | · Protists · Fungi · Plants · Animals |
