Eukaryotic vs Prokaryotic




Eukaryotic vs Prokaryotic
Eukaryotic Main Ideas:
- DNA is housed in the nucleus

- Larger in size 

- Known as animal and plant cells 

- Membrane bound organelles 

- No plasmids 

- Outer layer to membrane organelles (allows what goes in and out)

Prokaryotic Main Ideas:
- Less complex

- No membrane bound organelles 

- DNA not housed in nucleus 

- Smaller in size 

- Better known as bacteria 


Summary:
I learned many things about Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells. There are many differences that I didn't expect. I didn't know that the sizes were different and I learned what they're better know as. I expected them to be more similar than different. Although there are many differences, there are also similarities. Some things similar are that they both have a cell / plasma membrane, DNA, ribosomes, and cytoplasm. I didn't know anything about these two cells before going over them in class. I like learning about these cells and learning all of the differences and what they do. Eukaryotic cells aid in muscle fibres, leucocytes and neuroglia which are animal cells, and parenchyma cells, collenchyma cells and sclerenchyma cells, which are plant cells. Prokaryotic cells aid in  bacteria, e.g. vibrio cholerae, the cholera bacterium.
