Q
What is unique to prokaryotes?
A
- No true nucleus –> nucleoid
- Simple/less complex than Eukaryotes
- Lack membrane-bound-organelles
- Single-celled (unicellular)
- e.g., bacteria and archae
2
Q
What is unique to Eukaryotes?
A
- They HAVE a true nucleus+membrane -bound organelles
-Multi-celullar(more complex) - e.g., plants, animals, fungi
3
Q
What are shared characteristics of Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes?
A
- Cell membrane controls movement of materials into and out of the cell
- Contain DNA as genetic material
- Both use energy
4
