Question

1. explain one difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Explanation:

One key difference is the presence of a nucleus: prokaryotic cells lack a membrane - bound nucleus (their genetic material is in a nucleoid region), while eukaryotic cells have a true, membrane - bound nucleus that houses the genetic material. Another difference could be in organelles: prokaryotes have few or no membrane - bound organelles (like mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum), whereas eukaryotes have various membrane - bound organelles that perform specialized functions.

Answer:

One difference is that prokaryotic cells lack a membrane - bound nucleus (genetic material in nucleoid), while eukaryotic cells have a membrane - bound nucleus. (Or other valid differences like organelle presence as explained.)
