Eukaryotes & Prokaryotes

Question 2
Explain at least 2 components from both cells that make the organism unique
By:Angelique Shackleford

Eukaryote

Plasma membrane a lipid, protein carbohydrate complex providing a barrier and signaling system

Cytoskeleton microfilaments and microtubules that suspend organelles give shapes and allow motion

Other Components

• Nucleus
• Mitochondria
• Chloroplasts
• Ribsome
• Golgi Apppratus 

Prokaryote

Simply stated prokaryote are molecules surrounded by a membrane and cell wall

Prokaryotes cells have external whip like flagella for locomotion or hair like pili for adhesion

Summarize the importance of both organisms in nature

Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells are both important because all living organisms are made up of cells. Cells are the smallest unit of life to be able to carry out the functions, an organism needs to stay alive such as eat, breathe, and reproduce. Also, they both have tiny organelles that float around in their cytoplasm and do important jobs for the cell. and they have control center that contains genetic material call a nucleoid, but in Eukaryotic cells it is called nucleus.
