Question

Compare the structure of a typical prokaryotic cell with that of a typical eukaryotic cell. What structures would you find in both types of cells? What structures would you find only in eukaryotic cells? How do they differ in size?

Answer 1

Structures that you will find in both of them:

1. Plasma membrane

2. Ribosomes

3. Cytoplasm

4. DNA

Structures that you will find only in Eukaryotic Cells:

1. Nucleus

2. Organelles

About their size the Eukaryotic cell(10-100 µm in diameter) is larger than a prokaryotic cell (0.1-5.0 µm in diameter) .
