Question

which structures are found in each cell type? complete the tab prokaryotic cells eukaryotic cells ribosomes dna nucleus mitochondria

Explanation:

• Ribosomes: Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells need to synthesize proteins, and ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis. So, ribosomes are present in both cell types.
• DNA: All cells (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) store genetic information. DNA is the molecule that carries genetic instructions, so it is found in both cell types.
• Nucleus: Prokaryotic cells lack a membrane - bound nucleus. Their DNA is in the nucleoid region. Eukaryotic cells have a true, membrane - bound nucleus.
• Mitochondria: Mitochondria are membrane - bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells lack membrane - bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells (especially those that need a lot of energy like animal cells) have mitochondria.

Answer:

	Prokaryotic cells	Eukaryotic cells
DNA	✔️	✔️
Nucleus	❌	✔️
Mitochondria	❌	✔️
