Detailed explanation-1: -One major component of the cytoplasm in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes is the gel-like cytosol, a water-based solution that contains ions, small molecules, and macromolecules. In eukaryotes, the cytoplasm also includes membrane-bound organelles, which are suspended in the cytosol.

Detailed explanation-2: -All prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have some similar features as they both contain ribosomes, genetic material, a cytoplasm, and plasma membranes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nevertheless, glycolysis, the first phase of cellular respiration, occurs in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. During the process of glycolysis, glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate.

Detailed explanation-4: -Both prokaryote and eukaryote cells have a cell membrane. This is a lipid bilayer that keeps the contents of the cell in and keeps unwanted substances out. The membrane controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell. The material inside both types of cells is called the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-5: -It is found in all cells and separates the inner and exterior parts of the cell. Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have a cell membrane.
