What are some similarities between prokaryotes and eukaryotes

Cell membrane, genetic material, cytoplasm, ribosomes, these are some similarities between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Both cells share some common characteristics that make them living things They contain DNA as a heritable genetic material. They transcribe DNA into RNA and translate RNA into proteins on ribosomes. This genetic material is needed to regulate and inform cell function RNA by transcription. Both cells can also regulate transport across a cell membrane and require chemical energy for some cellular processes.

Both organisms are composed of cells, the basic unit of life, with each cell surrounded by a cell membrane. The biggest difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that eukaryotes have a nucleus.
