Where in a eukaryotic cell does each process take place?
In eukaryotes, transcription and translation take place in different cellular compartments: transcription takes place in the membrane-bounded nucleus, whereas translation takes place outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm. In prokaryotes, the two processes are closely coupled (Figure 28.15).
What processes occurs in eukaryotic cells?
The division cycle of most cells consists of four coordinated processes: cell growth, DNA replication, distribution of the duplicated chromosomes to daughter cells, and cell division.
Where does eukaryotic occur?
nucleus
Prokaryotic transcription and translation occur simultaneously in the cytoplasm, and regulation occurs at the transcriptional level. Eukaryotic gene expression is regulated during transcription and RNA processing, which take place in the nucleus, and during protein translation, which takes place in the cytoplasm.
Where in the eukaryotic cell do the processes of transcription and translation occur?
Thus, in eukaryotes, while transcription occurs in the nucleus, translation occurs in the cytoplasm.
Which process occurs in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes?
Which of the following processes occurs in BOTH eukaryotic and bacterial cells? Reproduction, uptake of energy from their surroundings, and regulation of cell function by changes in the activity of genes.
Which process takes place in both eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells?
Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms get the energy they need to grow and maintain normal cellular function through cellular respiration. Cellular respiration has three main stages: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and electron transport.
What process occurs in eukaryotes but not prokaryotes?
The entire DNA in a cell can be found in individual pieces known as chromosomes. Eukaryotic cells have many chromosomes which undergo meiosis and mitosis during cell division, while most prokaryotic cells consist of just one circular chromosome.
Where in a eukaryotic cell does glycolysis occur?
the cytoplasm
Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm. Within the mitochondrion, the citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, and oxidative metabolism occurs at the internal folded mitochondrial membranes (cristae).
Where does translation occur in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Prokaryotic transcription occurs in the cytoplasm alongside translation. Prokaryotic transcription and translation can occur simultaneously. This is impossible in eukaryotes, where transcription occurs in a membrane-bound nucleus while translation occurs outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm.
Where in the eukaryotic cell and prokaryotic cell do the events of cellular respiration occur?
cytoplasm
Cellular respiration occurs in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, with most reactions taking place in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes and in the mitochondria of eukaryotes.
What are the processes in the eukaryotic cell cycle?
The Eukaryotic Cell Cycle. The division cycle of most cells consists of four coordinated processes: cell growth, DNA replication, distribution of the duplicated chromosomes to daughter cells, and cell division.
Where does transcription occur in an eukaryotic cell?
Where Does Transcription Happen in a Eukaryotic Cell. Transcription is a process in which the DNA is transcribed into mRNA. This is a very important part of the protein synthesis process. Eukaryotic cells are facilitated with the nucleus, and they can have one or more nucleus, which contains the genetic materials such as DNA and RNA.
Is the process of mitosis the same for all eukaryotes?
Although the stages of mitosis are similar for most eukaryotes, the process of cytokinesis is quite different for eukaryotes that have cell walls, such as plant cells. Figure 5 Summary of the process of mitosis.
What makes prokaryotic cells different from other cells?
The Nucleus. One of the main differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is the nucleus. As previously discussed, prokaryotic cells lack an organized nucleus while eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound nuclei (and organelles ) that house the cell’s DNA and direct the synthesis of ribosomes and proteins.
