Pro VS Eukaryotes
Property differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Flagella | Long whip-like tail used to help organisms move |
Nucleus | Organelle that is the control center of the cell; contains DNA in eukaryotes |
Properties of Prokaryote | 1) Does NOT contain nucleus - has plasmid instead 2) DNA is free floating in cytoplasm 3) Simple structure 4) Evolved first so older cell EX: Bacteria |
Properties of Eukaryote | 1) DOES have a nucleus 2) DNA is found inside the nucleus 3) HAS membrane-bound organelles 4) Complex structure...evolved last so younger cell EX: plant and animal cells |
Plasmid | Circular Ring of DNA found in prokaryotes |
