Comparison of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6158
The Comparison of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that contrasts the two fundamental categories of cellular organization.
It is used in cell biology and microbiology courses to explain the structural, genetic, and functional differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Nuclear Envelope | Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus; prokaryotic cells do not |
| Cell Size | Prokaryotic cells are typically 1 to 10 micrometres; eukaryotic cells are typically 10 to 100 micrometres |
| Membrane-Bound Organelles | Present in eukaryotic cells, such as mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum; absent in prokaryotic cells |
| DNA Organization | Prokaryotic DNA is a single circular chromosome in the nucleoid; eukaryotic DNA is linear and organized into chromosomes within the nucleus |
| Ribosomes | Prokaryotes have smaller 70S ribosomes; eukaryotes have larger 80S ribosomes |
| Cell Division | Prokaryotes divide by binary fission; eukaryotes divide by mitosis or meiosis |
Key Features
- Contrasts prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structure side by side
- Shows the presence or absence of a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
- Distinguishes ribosome type and DNA organization between the two cell types
- Durable, exam-oriented construction for repeated classroom use
- Compact benchtop format suitable for laboratories and lecture halls
