How to Distinguish Between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

How to Differentiate Between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells:
This is the guest post by Lakshmi
Based on cell architecture there are two cellular domains.
These are : 1.prokaryotic cell
                  2.eukaryotic cell

CHARACTER
PROKARYOTIC CELL
EUKARYOTIC CELL
Organisms
Bacteria, Archea
Fungi, Plants, Animals
Cell size
2microns
2-100microns
Nuclear Structure&organization
No well defined nucleus
No true nucleus
No nuclear envelope
Well defined nucleus
True nucleus
Nuclear envelope is present
Chromosomes
Bacterial chromosomes composed Of a single, circular, covalently closed double stranded helical & negatively super coiled DNA
E.K chromosome is composed of single, linear,  double stranded, helical &negatively super coiled DNA
Extra chromosomal genetic material
plasmids are present
plasmids are rare, Found in yeast
plasma membrane
sterols are absent expect Mycoplasma bacterial plasma membrane have sterol like components called Hapanoids
sterols are present &act as membrane strengthen agents
cell wall
cell wall present except plancomycetes It is made up of peptide glycon
Animal cell do not have cell wall plants, fungal cells have cell wall
Storage polymers
poly beta hydroxyl butyric acid granules
plants-starch animals-glycogen Fungi-glycogen &oil granules
Gas vacuoles
Present Involved in phototaxis
Absent
Magnetosomes
present
Absent
Pili
present
Absent
Flagella
no 9+2 pattern,it is made up of Flagellin, &shows rotatory motion
characteristic 9+2 pattern present & shows beating motion
Sexual Reproduction
absent, conjugation is primitive type of recombination
present, recombination occur
Cell division
mitosis is absent, divided by Amitosis, division is mediated by Septasomes/devisomes
mitosis, meiosis are present
Respiratory  Apparatus
plama membrane
mitochondria
Photosynthetic Appatatus
chromatophores
chloroplasts in plants
Organelles
absent, only ribosomes  present
present
Ribosomes
70s
80s

 Enjoy :)
