Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes

Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells differ structurally as well as in the way they replicate. However, it’s important to note the chemical similarities – reactions that enable cell life.

Both types of cells use and/or contain:

· Carbohydrates
· Proteins
· Lipids
· Nucleic acids

All types of cells must make and store energy to survive. Chemical reactions aid in the ability to metabolize food and build proteins; whether autotrophic or heterotrophic, cells need amino acids (proteins) and energy (glucose/ATP) to maintain structure and carry out a range of functions that include cell replication.
