== Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells are amazing specimens of the vast world that are very interesting to study. They are the building blocks of the earth! In the world, there are two different types of cells, Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic. Karyose in greek means "kernel," as in kernel of corn. We use this in biology as a measurement for nuclie. "Pro" means before, and "eu" means "true" or "good." So Prokaryotic means before a nucleus. And "eukaryoitc" means possessing a true nucleus. One of the differences between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells is that the Prokaryotic cells are very small comparied to the Eukaryotic cells. The Prokaryotic cells can are you usually one-tenth a micrometer. While the Eukaryotic cells can be 10-100 micrometers. Scientists believe that the Prokaryotic cell arrived on this first, in the form of bacteria. Scientists beleive that they were on this earth 3.5 billion years. 1.5 billion years ago, the Eukaryotic cells arose! Please read on to see more differences of Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells! ==

= Prokaryotic Cells! =

Prokaryotic cells do not have a membrane bound nucleus. An example of this is bacteria. Thier genetic information in a circular loop called a plasmid. Often the prokaryotic cells are multicellular. The DNA is circular, without proteins. They do not have a cytoskeleton(a shifting lattice arrangement of structural and contractile components distributed throughout the cell cytoplasm). Reproduction is always Asexual(without sex) Cell division is by binary fission(Asexual reproduction in a unicelluar organism, by spliting into two daughter cells). They move by rotating flagellum. It is the smaller one of the two.



= //**__Eukaryotic Cells!__**// =

The Eukaryotic cell is the more advanced cell of the two. It is very complex and evolved. One of the main things that seperate the two, is that the Eukaryotic cells have a true nuclei. It is larger than the prokaryotic cell. They have an advanced and complex cytoskeleton. It reproduces sexually by the act of meiosis(The process of division in sexual reproduction where it reduces the amount of chromosomes).

Now, that I have stated mostly all of the differences, there are many more, but now I will give some similarities.

They both require a supply of energy to survive.

They both are covered by cell-membrane.

They both contain R-N-A.

They both are highly regulated by elaborate sensing systems.

They both have a similiar life process like photosynthesis and reproduction.

In this page, i have given some differences between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells. Also I have given some similarites, so that now you can go on and create your own page, Good Luck!!!!
