Document Summary
There are two fundamental different classes of cells; prokaryotes and eukaryotes. They are distinguished by their size and the types of internal structure (or. The existence of these two classes of cells represents the most fundamental. The structurally simple prokaryotic cells include, the bacteria. And the more complex eukaryotic cells include the protists, fungi, plants and. The commonality is mainly due to the fact that both are evolved from the same. Here is a brief comparison between the two cells; ancestry. Features held in both type of cells. Genetic information encoded in dna using identical genetic code. Similar mechanism for transcription and translation of genetic information, including similar ribosomes. Similar apparatus for conservation of chemical energy as atp (located in the plasma membrane of prokaryotes and mitochondria of eukaryotes) Similar mechanism of synthesizing and inserting membrane proteins. Proteasomes (protein digesting structure) of similar constructions. Features of eukaryotic cells not found in prokaryotes.
