Question
Chapter 4, Problem 1BYB
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The difference between eukaryotic stem cell and prokaryotic bacterial cell.
Introduction:
The prokaryotic cells are the primitive cells, having a cell wall that surrounds the cytoplasm and all the components of the cells and the genetic material is present suspended in the cytoplasm only. All the eukaryotic cells have a well-defined nucleus with the membrane-bound organelles.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The differences between the prokaryotic bacterial cells and the eukaryotic stem cells are listed below:
Eukaryotic stem cell | Prokaryotic bacterial cell | |
Nuclear Membrane | Presence of a well-defined nuclear membrane around the DNA. | The absence of a well-defined nuclear membrane around the DNA. |
Membrane-bound organelles (such as mitochondria, Golgi, endoplasmic reticulum etc.) | Present | Absent |
Cell division | Mitosis | Binary fission or budding |
Examples | Embryonic stem cells | E.coli |
Conclusion
Hence, eukaryotic stem cells have a well defined nuclear membrane along with membrane bound organelles, whereas these are absent in prokaryotes.
