The Major Components of Life

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic are the two major categories of cells making up life on earth. Both these types require water and carbon.

Part 1 : Describe the characteristics of water and carbon that makes them important to living things in general, and to specific forms of life including plants, animals, and prokaryotes. Why is NASA for example looking for water on Mars?

Part 2 : Describe the differences in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. How have the characteristics of each kind of cell put limitations and provided opportunities for the survival and divergence of modern living things? Why might both cell types be considered equally successful? Make sure to consider both Domains of Prokaryotes.
