what is the structural difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells that is directly related to size

1 answer:

Eukaryotic cells are considerably larger than prokaryotic cells because eukaryotic cells have many organelles (mitochondria, chloroplasts, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes...) which prokaryotic cells do not. This difference is due to the fact that prokaryotic cells are primitive; eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells also have a nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not, which contributes to the size difference.

Hope this helps.

<h3>What is the anatomy of Earthworm?</h3>

An earthworm is a terrestrial invertebrate and a member of the phylum Annelida.
They have a tube-within-a-tube body structure, corresponding external and internal segmentation, and typically include setae on each segment.
They can be found wherever the soil, water, and temperature permit.
The body of an earthworm is composed of a digestive tube and a thick cylindrical muscular tube that forms the body.
The body is divided into segments, and furrows on the surface of the body serve as markers for the segment boundaries.
