Question

cells can be categorized into two main types: prokaryotic and eukaryotic. these diagrams show both cell types and some of their structures. the diagrams are not to scale. prokaryotic cell eukaryotic cell which structures are found in each cell type? complete the table. vacuoles ribosomes in the cytoplasm ribosomes on the endoplasmic reticulum golgi

Explanation:

• Vacuoles: Prokaryotic cells generally lack vacuoles. Eukaryotic cells, especially plant cells, often have vacuoles (e.g., central vacuole in plant cells).
• Ribosomes in the cytoplasm: Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Ribosomes are essential for protein synthesis, and in prokaryotes, they are free - floating in the cytoplasm, while in eukaryotes, some are also free in the cytoplasm.
• Ribosomes on the endoplasmic reticulum: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an organelle found only in eukaryotic cells. The rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface. Prokaryotic cells lack membrane - bound organelles like the ER.
• Golgi: The Golgi apparatus is a membrane - bound organelle. Prokaryotic cells lack membrane - bound organelles, so they do not have a Golgi. Eukaryotic cells have a Golgi apparatus which is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids.

Answer:

	Prokaryotic cells	Eukaryotic cells
Ribosomes in the cytoplasm	Yes	Yes
Ribosomes on the endoplasmic reticulum	No	Yes
Golgi	No	Yes
