What's the difference between a eukaryotic cell and a prokaryotic cell? Give an example of an organism with eukaryotic cells and an example of an organism with prokaryotic cells.

This is a portfolio so I really need help please!!

Thanks for the link! It really helps.

Sure, I'd be happy to help you with your portfolio!

The main difference between a eukaryotic cell and a prokaryotic cell lies in their structural organization and complexity.

Eukaryotic cells are generally larger and more structurally complex compared to prokaryotic cells. The defining feature of eukaryotic cells is the presence of a membrane-bound nucleus, which contains the genetic material (DNA). Eukaryotic cells also have membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and golgi apparatus, which perform specific functions within the cell. Examples of organisms with eukaryotic cells include animals, plants, fungi, and protists.

On the other hand, prokaryotic cells do not have a membrane-bound nucleus. Instead, their genetic material is present in a region called the nucleoid, which is not enclosed by a membrane. Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller and simpler in structure compared to eukaryotic cells. They do not have membrane-bound organelles but may have certain cellular components like ribosomes and flagella. Examples of organisms with prokaryotic cells include bacteria and archaea.

To find specific organisms as examples for your portfolio, you can search for commonly known examples of eukaryotes and prokaryotes. For example, humans, dogs, roses, and mushrooms are all examples of eukaryotes, while bacteria, cyanobacteria, and archaea like halophiles and thermophiles are examples of prokaryotes. You can also provide specific examples within each group, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) for prokaryotes and Homo sapiens (humans) for eukaryotes.
