Main difference between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

Prokaryotes:

  1. Prokaryotes includes bacteria, blue-green algae, mycoplasmas and PPLO.
  2. They are smaller and multiply more rapidly.
  3. They vary greatly in shape and size.
  4. All prokaryotes have a cell wall and cell membrane.
  5. No well defined nucleus.
  6. Matrix is filled with cytoplasm.
  7. In addition to genomic DNA, it has smaller DNA's called Plasmids which is resistant to antibiotics.
  8. No organelles are present except ribosomes.
  9. It has unique Inclusions. Inclusions is the reserve material stored in the cytoplasm.
  10. Differentiated form of cell membranes called mesosomes is the characteristic of prokaryotes.

Eukaryotes:

  1.  Eukaryotes includes protists, plants, animals and fungi.
  2. Compare to prokaryotes, they multiply slowly.
  3. The cells are not identical.
  4. All eukaryotes do not have cell walls.
  5. Well defined nucleus with a nuclear envelope.
  6. Cytoplasm have many compartments due to presence of cell organelles.
  7. Genetic material is organised into chromosome.
  8. Many membrane bound cell organelles are present such as Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, Golgi apparatus, Lysosomes, Vacoules, Mitochondria, Plastids, Ribosomes.
  9. It have complex locomotary and cytoskeletal structures like cilia,flagella.
  10. Ribosomes are present in both the cells i.e. in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Types of stomata

Image
Types of Stomata:  On the basis of size, shape, number and and arrangement of Subsidiary cells stomata are classified into six types. Metcalf and Chalk defferentiated various types of stomata. A. Anamocytic: Guard cells are surrounded by 4 or more subsidiary cells which are similar in size and shape. Two subsidiary cells are present in bothpolar regions of guard cells and the remaining two are present on two lateral sides. Ex: Rananculaceae, Papaveraceae, Tridax procumbans. B. Anisocytic: Guard cells are surrounded by 3 subsidiary cells and are differ in size. Two subsidiary cells are bigger in size at lateral sides and one cell in smaller in size at one polar region of guard cells. Ex: Cruciferae, Umbilliferae, Datura. C. Paracytic: Guard cells are surrounded by two large subsidiary cells which are similar in size and are present at the two lateral sides of the guard cells. Ex: Rubiaceae, Magnoliaceae, Ixora. D. Diacytic: Guard cells are surrounded by two large subsidiary cells wh...

What is Ecosystem and Biome

Ecosystem: Two or more biotic communities which interact with the physical or non-living environment together constitute as Ecosystem. Examples: A forest, a mountain, a garden, a pond etc,.. Biome: Group of ecosystem constitute as Biome. A group of ecosystem taken togther in an area hving the same type of climtic conditions is consider as Biome. Biomes can also be consider as major or big sized ecosystem.  Examples: Temperate forests, deserts, evergreen forests, sea, big lakes etc,.. where many ecosystems are found within a biome.
