Question

Are Humans Prokaryotic?

Answer 1

Hint: Prokaryotic cells are primitive cells mainly found in the unicellular organisms, and they do no longer nucleus, as an alternative they contain a fragment of DNA, and the organelles are not bounded with the membranes. The eukaryotic cells are located in all sorts of multicellular organisms such as plant and animal cells and they consist of nucleus and membrane sure organelles.

Complete answer:
Human beings are a multicellular complex organism which shows organ type of body organisation. The cells present in the human are complex structures which comprise various membranous and nonmembranous organelles like nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, ribosomes etc. These organelles perform a series of complex functions and help in maintaining the physiology of the organism. This is the characteristic feature of Eukaryotic cells.

In the case of prokaryotic cells all the membrane bound organelles including the definite nucleus are absent. The prokaryotic cells are mostly unicellular organisms which do not perform complex physiology. Example Amoeba.

Humans belong to the kingdom Animalia where all the organisms are Eukaryotic. Due to the complex organisation of cells, humans are eukaryotic.

Note: The prokaryotes are primitive cells in contrast to eukaryotes. In prokaryotes the genetic material is single stranded and circular and present in the central nucleoid whereas in eukaryotes the DNA is double stranded linear and is enclosed within a definite nucleus. Other than humans’ plants and other multicellular organisms come under the category of eukaryotes. The plants belong to the family Plantae.
