Question

which structures are found in each cell type? complete the table. prokaryotic cells eukaryotic cells cell membrane smooth endoplasmic reticulum rough endoplasmic reticulum cytoplasm

Explanation:

• Cell membrane: Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have a cell membrane that controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
• Smooth endoplasmic reticulum: Only eukaryotic cells have smooth endoplasmic reticulum, which is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
• Rough endoplasmic reticulum: Only eukaryotic cells have rough endoplasmic reticulum, which is studded with ribosomes and involved in protein synthesis.
• Cytoplasm: Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have cytoplasm, which is the gel - like substance inside the cell where cellular processes occur.

Answer:

	Prokaryotic cells	Eukaryotic cells
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum	❌	✔️
Rough endoplasmic reticulum	❌	✔️
