Give five point of difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. Explain it.
Prokaryotic Cells:
1. They are unicellular organisms, size ranges from 0.2μm – 2.0 μm in diameter.
2. The cell wall is present but chemically complex.
3. The nucleus is absent but DNA is present as genetic material. It is circular in the arrangement.
4. Archaea and Bacteria are examples of prokaryotic cells.
5. They reproduce asexually.
Eukaryotic Cells:
1. They are both unicellular and multicellular organisms, size ranges from 10 μm – 100 μm in diameter.
2. The cell wall is present, chemically simple.
3. The nucleus is present where the linear arrangement of DNA is found.
4. Plant and animal cells are examples of eukaryotic cells.
5. They reproduce both asexually and sexually.
