Question

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

Explanation:

• Cytoplasm: Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have cytoplasm. It is the gel - like substance within the cell membrane where cellular processes occur.
• Smooth endoplasmic reticulum: Prokaryotic cells lack membrane - bound organelles. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is a membrane - bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells (involved in lipid synthesis, detoxification etc.).
• Cell membrane: All cells (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) are surrounded by a cell membrane that regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
• Rough endoplasmic reticulum: Prokaryotic cells do not have membrane - bound organelles. The rough endoplasmic reticulum (with ribosomes attached) is a membrane - bound organelle present in eukaryotic cells (involved in protein synthesis).
