Prokaryotes and eukaryotes share common features, among them the possession of nucleic acids and other organic substances such as proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. In addition, they utilize similar metabolic reactions such as glycolysis and chemiosmosis for the utilization of food and the production of energy and waste. Also, they exhibit many of the same physiological features such as motion and reproduction, although the mode of reproduction may be different and different organs of motility may exist.
