Three crucial biological characteristics that's required for sustaining the livelihood of prokaryote and eukaryote cells

Rishan Singh

Abstract
Since living organisms will always form an important part of the ecosystem, it's imperative to achieve a view on how imbalances cause problems. The one way in attaining this view is by understanding the way in which cells behave in different environments, ranging from the native environment to tested conditions. Cell viability, respiratory events as well as metabolic and nuclear shutdown are some critical events that occur, generally, in prokaryote and eukaryote cells. The distinct characteristics between the two cell types enable an advanced understanding about the occurrence of those features and processes attained during medicinal, and other cell-based studies.

Keywords
Cell metabolism; Prokaryote; Eukaryote; Evolution; Chromosomal aberration.
