Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes âDifferences. Eukaryotes as well as protists, a miscellany group made up of eukaryote-like plant, animal and fungi missing one or more characteristics to be defined as purely eukaryotic, differ greatly from prokaryotes in structure.
It is now clear that prokaryotic cells possess actin and that a dynamic actin-like cytoskeleton is involved in a variety of essential cellular processes in bacteria. These functions, like those of the eukaryotic actin cytoskeleton, require the targeting and accurate positioning of proteins and molecular complexes.he discovery of the prokaryotic homologues of actin (as well as of other cytoskeletal elements in bacteria) has forced a radical rethink about the origin of the cytoskeleton and revolutionized our view of bacterial cell architecture.
Actin shoots out the infected cells membrane like Wolverines claws, and into cells ânext doorâ, infecting them. Im not lying (green dots are the virus, red tails the actin): Those were two examples of viral âmovementâ that I could think of off the top of my headâ Ill try to think of some more (just cause its cool). did a rough estimate of the average virus Reynolds Number and it turned out to be around .0051. So aside from some good old Brownian Motion, those viruses arenât really going anywhere without some sort of flagella or what-have-you.
