what is the difference between procaryotic and eucaryotic?
80564
Procaryotes and eucaryotes are types of microorganisms which are classified based on their membranes.  The main difference between procaryotic and eucaryotic microorganism is that the latter has nucleus and membrane-bound organelles while the former does not.  Furthermore, procaryotes are mostly unicellular while eucaryotes are multicellular.

Eukaryotic cells (typical plant and animal cells) are considered to be more advanced than prokayotic cells. Their DNA is contained within a membrane bound nucleus and they contain membrane bound organelles such as mitochondria. They also contain a cytoskeleton which is a series of tubes and microfilaments which are involved with movement within the cell.\n\nProkaryotic cells (eg. bacteria) have no membrane bound nucleus - their DNA is restricted to a region called the nuceoid which is not membrane bound. They contain no membrane bound organelles and have no cytoskeleton. They do contain non membrane bound organelles such as ribosomes ( eukaryotes also contain these)\n\nHope this is of some help.

The unicellular organism is self sustaining. It can reproduce. The specialized cell cannot survive on its own. Take a blood cell for instance. It does important things for the body, but it can't make more blood cells, or a new person.

Fungi.\n\nThe first split in the phylogenetic tree comes between the prokaryotes and the eukaryotes.\n\nProkaryotes are cells without nuclei. They include both the bacteria kingdom and the archaea kingdom.\n\nMonera is an old obsolete classification that doesn't mean anything any more, but is more or less synonymous with archaea.\n\nEukaryotes are cells with a distinct nucleus. All multicellular organisms fall into this kingdom, including fungi and humans, thus placing fungi as having the most recent shared ancestor with humans.

These differences are down to cellular level:\n\nEUKARYOTES:\n--Relatively bigger compared to prokaryotes \n--Have true nucleus (surrounded by nuclear envelope)\n--Cells contain golgi, lysosomes, ribosomes and endoplasmic reticulum\n--Have cell wall made of cellulose and chitin\n--Have linear DNA with protein forming true chromosomes\n--Have a nucleolus\n--Their flagella consist of microtubules\n--Membrane-bounded organelles like chloroplast present\n\nPROKARYOTES:\n--Relatively smaller in size\n--Don't have a permanent nucleus\n--Their cells contain ribosomes, but no vacuole or golgi\n--Cell wall is rigid and made up of murein\n--Have circular DNA, with no true chromosomes\n--No nucleolus present\n--Their flagella lack microtubules\n--No membrane bounded organelles present

Eukaryotic cell division is called mitosis while prokaryotic is known as binary fission (cell divides in half - forming two daughter cells which are genetically identical)\nE- Sex cells in diploid(two copies of chromosome) therefore organisms are produced through meiosis \nP- Organisms are haploid (one single copy of chromosome), No meiosis needed

The origin of the eukaryotic cell was a milestone in the evolution of life, since they include all complex cells and multi-cellular organisms. The timing of this series of events is hard to determine; Knoll (1992) suggests they developed approximately 1.6 - 2.1 billion years ago. Fossils that are clearly related to modern groups start appearing around 800 million years ago.\n\nrRNA trees constructed during the 1980s and 1990s left most eukaryotes in an unresolved "crown" group (not technically a true crown), which was usually divided by the form of the mitochondrial cristae. The few groups that lack mitochondria branched separately and so the absence was believed to be primitive, but this is now considered an artifact of long branch attraction and they are known to have lost them secondarily.\n\nTrees based on actin and other genes have painted a different and more complete picture. Most eukaryotes are now included in several supergroups:\n\nOpisthokonts Animals, fungi, choanoflagellates, etc. \nAmoebozoa Most lobose amoebae and slime moulds \nRhizaria Various amoeboid protozoa \nExcavates Various flagellate protozoa \nArchaeplastida Land plants, green and red algae \nHeterokonts Brown algae, diatoms, water molds, etc. \nAlveolates Ciliates, Apicomplexa, dinoflagellates, etc. \n\nThe heterokonts and alveolates may be part of a larger group that is ancestrally photosynthetic, called the chromalveolates, but this remains contentious. Otherwise the relationships between the different supergroups are mostly uncertain, and in particular there is dispute about where the root of the evolutionary tree belongs, and as a result what the earliest eukaryotes were like. A few small protist groups have not been related to any of the major supergroups, notably the centrohelids, apusozoans, and ebriids.\n\nEukaryotes are closely related to archaea, at least in terms of nuclear DNA and genetic machinery. In other respects, such as membrane composition, they are similar to eubacteria. Three main explanations for this have been proposed:\n\nEukaryotes resulted from the complete fusion of two or more cells, the cytoplasm forming from a eubacterium and the nucleus from an archaeon (alternatively a virus). \nEukaryotes developed from Archaea, and acquired their eubacterial characteristics from the proto-mitochondrion. \nEukaryotes and Archaea developed separately from a modified eubacterium. \nThe origin of the endomembrane system and mitochondria are also disputed. The phagotrophic hypothesis states the membranes originated with the development of endocytosis and later specialized; mitochondria were acquired by ingestion, like plastids. The syntrophic hypothesis states that the proto-eukaryote relied on the proto-mitochondrion for food, and so ultimately grew to surround it; the membranes originate later, in part thanks to mitochondrial genes (the hydrogen hypothesis is one particular version).

All multicellular organisms are eukaryotes, and need their mitochondria (and chloroplasts, in some cases) to live. Mitochondria and chloroplasts used to be free-living prokaryotes.

also spelled  procaryote,   any self-contained cell or organism that lacks internal unit membranes. Bacteria are among the best-known prokaryotic organisms. Prokaryotes lack a nuclear membrane and most of the components of eukaryotic cells. The cell membrane consists of a phospholipid unit membrane and constitutes the cell's primary osmotic barrier. The cytoplasm includes ribosomes that carry out translation and protein synthesis. The nuclear region usually consists of circular, double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Many prokaryotes also contain accessory, self-replicating genetic structures, called plasmids, with additional dispensable cell functions, such as encoding proteins to inactivate antibiotics. The flagella are distinct from those of eukaryotes in design and movement. The organelles that are present, such as storage vesicles, are surrounded by a nonunit membrane consisting principally of proteins. See also eukaryote; bacteria.

Nuclear?  Nuclear envelope?  Nuclear membrane? \n\nThe word 'eukaryote' means 'true nuclei'.  They are talking about the membrane which surrounds the nucleus of the cell.  This is not present in Prokaryotes.

It is called endosymbiosis. This is the process in which prokaryotes slowly integrated with other prokaryotes (mitochondria or chloroplast) to form eukaryotes

When you take molecualr biology, you learn about the processes in eukaryotes, and prokaryotes.  And even between those two domains, most things are pretty much the same.  Fungi, plants and animals are all eukaryotes, so on a molecular biology level, they are pretty much the same.  Plants photosynthesize, which the others don't, but that's about it when it comes to molecular biology.

Eukaryotes contain membrane-bound nuclei and other organelles, while prokaryotes lack this membrane-bound nucleus. Prokaryotes are classified in two kingdoms separate from the eukaryotes. Eukaryotes are the type of cells that make up plants and one celled organisms, but not animals.\n\nBut there is a longer discription on:\nhttp://ks.essortment.com/prokaryoteseuka_rgbo.htm

eukarotic bacteria are unicellular; fungi can be multicellular whereas bacteria can not. Bacteria move themselves by means of a flagella unlike fungi which don't. Bacteria lack a nucleous and mitochondria unlike fungi. Many bacteria have differing cell walls from fungi. I believe the term used is peptidoglcoans, which describes the cell wall.

well according to the most accepted theory of the origin of eukaryotes, no.  this is because eukaryotes actually have evolved from one prokaryote engulfing another prokaryote.  this leads to the symbiotic theory, where the "bigger" prokaryote protects the "smaller" eukaryote and uses the proteins it produces, while the "smaller" prokaryote protects the DNA, makes proteins, and is protected by the larger prokaryote.  in this manner, these multiple prokaryotes evolved to a eukaryote.\n\nso, no.

Eukaryotic cells have a definite nucleus, membrane bound organelles, usually larger in size (when compared to a prokaryotic cell), and certain eukaryotes are multicellular.\n\nProkaryotic cells do not have a definite nucleus, do not have membrane bound organelles, are much smaller in size (when compared to a eukaryotic cell), and are single celled.
