Eukaryotic Cells Vs Prokaryotic Cells

Functions of Eukaryotic Cells:

• Plasma membrane-It separates the contents of the cell from its outside environment, and it regulates what enters and exits the cell.
• Cell wall-Protects the outside of the cell and gives it strength.

• Chloroplasts-A plastid in cells which allows photosynthesis to take place.
• Vacuole- stores a variety of nutrients to help the plant stay alive.
• Mitochondria- Processes of respiration and energy production occur.
• Cytoplasm- material within a living cell.
• Golgi Vesicles- contain enzymes and other products that have been transported throughout the cell.
• Golgi body- Flattened membranes which sort proteins and other cellular substances and package them into membrane bound structures.
• Ribosomes- Ribosomes are cell organelles that consist of RNA and proteins.

Functions of Prokaryotic Cells:

• Ribsomomes-Ribosomes are cell organelles that consist of RNA and proteins
• Plasmid- A circular double stranded DNA that is capable of replicating chromosomal DNA.
• Cytoplasm-material within a living cell.
• Plasma Membrane- Biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment.
• Cell Wall-Protects the outside of the cell and gives it strength
• Nucleoid -
• (circular DNA)

The biggest difference between these two cells is that Eukaryotic cells have nuclei containing their DNA. Whereas the genetic material in Prokaryotes is not membrane bound. A plasma membrane is present in both Eukaryotic cells as well as prokaryotic cells.

 Structure of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells:

Smooth muscle contains smooth muscle nuclei and smooth muscle cells, there are also intercellular spaces. Straited muscle contains a nucleus and muscle fibre, it is also has striations. Striations are muscle tissue that has a repeated pattern. Only straited muscle contains striations, smooth muscle does not contain any striations. Straited muscle contains a nucleus and smooth muscle contains small nuclei’s. Smooth muscle contains intercellular spaces which are tissues which are filled with air around them.

Only smooth muscle contains intercellular spaces, straited muscle has muscle fibre this allows short bursts of energy to flow through the muscles. Straited muscle does not contain any muscle cells whereas smooth muscle contains smooth muscle cells. Straited muscle is a voluntary muscle and helps move muscles and joints. It is stimulated by impulses from the brain and spinal cord.

Smooth muscle is involuntary. This means it is not under conscious control; it is stimulated by nerve impulses and can be found in hollow organs.
