Question

bacterial cells are prokaryotic, and yeast cells are eukaryotic. they both have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes. but eukaryotic cells contain other parts, called membrane - bound organelles, that are not found in prokaryotic cells. the nucleus is an example of a membrane - bound organelle—it holds the dna inside a nuclear membrane. unicellular organisms can be prokaryotic or eukaryotic, but all complex multicellular organisms are made up of eukaryotic cells. complete the table. characteristic prokaryotic cells eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus with linear chromosomes comprise multicellular organisms contain ribosomes comprise unicellular organisms contain cytoplasm have a cell membrane

Explanation:

• Contain a nucleus with linear chromosomes: Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus (their DNA is in the cytoplasm), while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus with linear chromosomes. So, this characteristic belongs to eukaryotic cells.
• Comprise multicellular organisms: As per the text, "all complex multicellular organisms are made up of eukaryotic cells". Prokaryotic cells are unicellular (like bacteria), so this is for eukaryotic cells.
• Contain ribosomes: The text states "They both have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes". So both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain ribosomes.
• Comprise unicellular organisms: The text says "Unicellular organisms can be prokaryotic or eukaryotic". So both types of cells can be in unicellular organisms.
• Contain cytoplasm: The text says "They both have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes". So both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain cytoplasm.
• Have a cell membrane: The text says "They both have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes". So both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have a cell membrane.
