Question

1. how are prokaryotes and eukaryotes similar? (dna, cytoplasm, cell membrane)
2. do you think prokaryotic or eukaryotic organisms were the first organisms to inhabit earth? justify your answer.

Explanation:

1. Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have DNA as genetic - material, a cytoplasm that contains cellular components, and a cell membrane that controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
2. Prokaryotic organisms are thought to be the first to inhabit Earth. They are simpler in structure and lack a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles. The early Earth's environment was harsh, and the simpler prokaryotes were more likely to have evolved first and adapted to those conditions.

Answer:

1. Both have DNA, cytoplasm, and cell membrane.
2. Prokaryotic organisms. They are simpler and better adapted to early Earth's harsh conditions.
