Prokaryotic cells have a nucleoid, a region within the cytoplasm where the DNA is found, but this region is not
surrounded by a membrane. Eukaryotic cells, however, have a true nucleus that is surrounded by a nuclear membrane.
Additionally, eukaryotic cells have a variety of membranous compartments known as organelles within the cell,
whereas prokaryotes do not have membranous organelles. Prokaryotic cells tend to be smaller and less structurally
complex in general than eukaryotic cells. Even though the two types of cells may have various structures in common,
such as cell walls and flagella, these structures can vary widely in their molecular composition.
77) Bacterial cell walls are composed of peptidoglycan, whereas archaeal cell walls are composed of a variety of
carbohydrate forms but never peptidoglycan. The flagella of the two groups of prokaryotes have several differences,
including size, manner of assembly, and function. Although both have fimbriae, archaea have a distinctive attachment
structure called a hamus that is somewhat like a barbed grappling hook. Archaeal cytoplasmic membranes lack
phospholipid, a membrane lipid found in both bacteria and eukaryotes. The ribosomes of archaea and bacteria are of
similar size, but some ribosomal components of archaea are more like those of eukaryotic ribosomes than those of
bacteria. RNA metabolism in the two prokaryotic groups differs, and the archaeal genetic code is more like that of
eukaryotes than that of bacteria.
78) 1) Cell wall: The cell wall of almost all bacteria contains peptidoglycan, a molecule absent in eukaryotic cell walls.
Gram-negative cell walls contain unique molecules such as lipopolysaccharide and structures such as porins, which
are not present in eukaryotic cells. Additionally, human cells do not have a cell wall at all.
2) Ribosomes: Bacterial ribosomes have a 70S structure, whereas eukaryotic ribosomes have an 80S structure. This
difference is enough to allow some drugs to preferentially affect bacterial ribosomes while leaving eukaryotic
ribosomes unharmed.
3) Cellular appendages: Although both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells can have flagella, the two types of cells use
structurally different types of flagella. Furthermore, many bacteria have fimbriae and pili, which are not found on
eukaryotic cells.
4) Cell membrane: Most cells use a phospholipid bilayer with inserted proteins as a cell membrane; however, bacterial
cell membranes may contain hopanoids, which are absent in eukaryotic cell membranes.

79) Both organelles use metabolic processes embedded in lipid membranes to generate to produce cellular energy. The
cristae of mitochondria produce ATP. The thylakoids of chloroplasts are the site of light energy capture and conversion
to cellular energy. The extensive surface area of the folded inner membranes allows both organelles to produce much
more energy than would otherwise be possible.
80) The structure and function of the cytoplasmic membrane are explained in the fluid mosaic model. The cytoplasmic
membranes of bacterial cells are composed of phospholipids, which create a semipermeable barrier to the cell's outer
environment. The only molecules that can easily cross the membrane are small, lipid soluble molecules. Other types of
molecules must use the wide variety of transport proteins embedded in the phospholipid bilayer to cross the
membrane. In this way, the cell can control the concentration of both its nutrients and its waste products. The
cytoplasmic membrane can also be used for energy production and for photosynthesis in prokaryotic cells.
