Compare and contrast prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. Be
able to complete a table: prokaryotes in the first column,
eukaryotes in the second column and rows listing different
organelles or characteristics.
The speed of DNA replication in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
DIFFERS because:
A.) prokaryotic cells don’t use a double helix structure to
store their nucleotides
B.) smaller genomes allow prokaryotes to rapidly copy their
chromosome and reproduce
C.) eukaryotes replicate their DNA from a single location along
the strand
D.) eukaryotic DNA is more accessible for DNA polymerase and
other replication-related proteins
Compare and contrast 10 structural and genetic characteristics
that distinguish between “Prokaryotic” and Eukaryotic cells. Be
sure to define/describe the significance of the characteristics
that you mention.
Why is it important to be aware of the differences between
prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells when using prokaryotic
models to study eukaryotic cellular processes or
molecules?
Written Assignment: Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Cells
Module 2 introduces you to the living cell. Compare and contrast
eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
Your assignment should be 250-500 words in length.
PLEASE IN YOUR OWN WORDS!!!! NO PLAGIARISM!!!
How does transcription in prokaryotic cells differ from transcription in eukaryotic cells? List at least ten transcriptional processes (from primary transcript to mature RNA molecule) that eukaryotes need but prokaryotes do not
How does transcription in prokaryotic cells differ from transcription in eukaryotic cells? List at least ten transcriptional processes (from primary transcript to mature RNA molecule) that eukaryotes need but prokaryotes do not.
Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells are two important kinds of
cells encountered in our world. Do the following:
Explain how eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells differ.
Explain how the evolution of cells made cellular respiration
possible, and
What environmental pressures necessitated cellular
respiration?
