Fill in the gaps in the following table illustrating differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Prokaryotic cell | Eukaryotic cell |
1. Size : generally small (1-10 μm); 1μm = 10-6 m 2. Nuclear region : ................................ ............................... And known as .............. 3. Chromosome : single 4. Membrane – bound organelles : absent | 1. Size generally large (5-100 Mm) 2. Nuclear region : well defined and surrounded by a nuclear membrane 3. Chromosome : more than one 4. ....................... ........................... |
2. Lack of organized nucleus, the genetic material present in the form of nucleoid. Nuclear membrane is absent.
4. Membrane-bound cell organelles such as mitochondria, plastids, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, etc. are present in the cytoplasm.
