1. Cell membrane: Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have a cell membrane that encloses their cytoplasm and separates the internal components of the cell from the external environment.
2. Ribosomes: Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have ribosomes, which are responsible for protein synthesis.
3. Cytoplasm: Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have cytoplasm, which is a gel-like substance within the cell membrane where various cellular processes occur.
4. DNA: Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have genetic material in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). However, prokaryotes have a circular DNA molecule, while eukaryotes have linear DNA molecules organized into multiple chromosomes.
5. Metabolism: Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes carry out metabolic activities such as energy production through processes like glycolysis and the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle). However, the specific metabolic pathways and organelles involved in these processes may vary between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
