Question

1. identify the cells below (prokaryotic or eukaryotic). explain your answer

mitochondrion
membrane -

enclosed nucleus
nucleolus
ribosomes
cell membrane
nucleoid
cell wall
( in some eukaryotes)
flagellum
( some prokaryotes)
capsule

Explanation:

• Top cell: It has a membrane - enclosed nucleus (a key feature of eukaryotic cells). Eukaryotic cells also have other membrane - bound organelles like mitochondria.
• Bottom cell: It has a nucleoid (a region where the genetic material is located in prokaryotes, not enclosed in a membrane). Prokaryotic cells generally lack membrane - bound organelles (except for some invaginations in the cell membrane in some cases).

Answer:

• The top cell is eukaryotic.
• The bottom cell is prokaryotic.
