The correct answer is: Prokaryotic DNA is much smaller than eukaryotic DNA.

The first difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic genome is its structure and complexity: Prokaryotic cells have a small amount of DNA in the form of a single, circular chromosome located in the cytoplasm, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and DNA arranged in multiple, linear chromosomes in it; eukaryotic cell has about 25 times more DNA than a prokaryotic cell. Differences in replication between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells:

• point of origin

• direction- replication occurs in two opposing directions in prokaryotes while in eukaryotes it is unidirectional

• polymerases- in prokaryotes there are only one or two enzymes polymerases, while in eukaryotes four or more

• faster rate in prokaryotic cells.

Hello again, I helped you with your geothermal question earlier.

I would believe that B would be correct, because if you decrease energy use, then you would use less energy when performing tasks.

Give one difference between the structure of the bacteria cell and animal cell
Verizon [17]
Hello!
You can choose the difference! 

Bacterial cell is 0.2 to 2 um in size, while an animal cell is 10-100 um in size
Bacterial cells are made up of murein, while animal cells don't have a cell wall
Bacterial cells dont posses a nucleus, while animal cells do posses one.

There are more differences, but these are the biggest.

sesenic [268]

Only one substrate level phosphorylation occurs in the citric acid cycle (otherwise called kreb’s cycle). This substrate level phosphorylation is catalyzed by the enzyme, Succinyl CoA Synthetase. The substrates of this substrate level phosphorylation are Succinyl CoA, guanosine diphosphate (GDP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi)

Which statement best explains why the process of genetic engineering is important to the scientific community? A. Genetic engine
Maslowich
Genetic engineering is important to the scientific community because A) Genetic engineering provides crops that are less expensive to grow. One of the biggest problems that the world may face in the near future is a food supply shortage due to the increasing exponential growth of the population. Genetic engineering provides crops that are more hearty, larger and less expensive to grow that may be the answer to mounting future problems. The ability to manipulate plants in the lab makes altering their growth pattern a much faster change than many years of natural selection in the farm and field.
