Question
Chapter 2, Problem 1Q
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The volume of aprokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell. The diameter of eukaryotic hepatocytes is 20 µm (micrometer). So, thenumber of bacterial cells that would fit in a liver cell is to be estimated.
Introduction:
Prokaryotes are a heterogeneous group, which have many categories of external appearance, like cylindrical (bacillus), spheroidal (cocci), and coiled (spirilla). It has acell wall, plasma membrane, circular DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule, snd no internal membrane-enclosed organelles.
