CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell size. Typical prokaryotic cells range from 0.1 to 5.0 micrometers (m) in diameter and are significantly smaller than eukaryotic cells, which usually have diameters ranging from 10 to 100 m.

Detailed explanation-2: -The small size of prokaryotes allows ions and organic molecules that enter them to quickly spread to other parts of the cell. Similarly, any wastes produced within a prokaryotic cell can quickly move out. However, larger eukaryotic cells have evolved different structural adaptations to enhance cellular transport.

Detailed explanation-3: -Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells, have no nucleus, and lack organelles. All prokaryotic cells are encased by a cell wall.

Detailed explanation-4: -The key difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus (and membrane-bound organelles), whereas prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus. In eukaryotic cells, all the chromosomes are contained within the nucleus.

Detailed explanation-5: -Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells because they don’t have to fit as many organelles inside. Prokaryotes typically measure 0.2 – 2.0µm in diameter, whereas eukaryotic cells are 1 – 100 µm in diameter.
