What are 4 similarities between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?


Open in App
Solution

Prokaryotes cells:

Prokaryotes are organisms whose cells lack the nucleus and other organelles.

Eukaryotes cells:

Eukaryotes are organisms that have nucleus and other member-bound organelles.

Similarities between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells:
Cell membrane:

  1. Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells contain lipid bilayers.
  2. These lipid bilayers are primarily a configuration of proteins and phospholipids.
  3. These lipids act as a selection barrier between the outer and inner environments of the bilayer cell.

Genetic material:

  1. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells use deoxyribonucleic DNA or acids as the basis for their genetic information.
  2. This genetic material is needed to regulate and report cell function through the formation of RNA by transcription, which then leads to the formation of proteins through translation.

Ribosomes:

  1. Ribosomes facilitate RNA translation and protein synthesis.
  2. This feature is required for the function of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Cytoplasm:

  1. Cell biochemical reactions take place through the cytoplasm,
  2. The primary ingredient in this reaction is cytosol.
