Question

which structures are found in each cell type? complete the table. prokaryotic cells eukaryotic cells membrane - bound organelles continuous loop of chromosomal dna linear chromosomes mitochondria

Explanation:

• Prokaryotic cells lack membrane - bound organelles (like mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum etc.). So for "Membrane - bound organelles", the box for prokaryotic cells is not checked. Eukaryotic cells have membrane - bound organelles, so the box for eukaryotic cells is checked.
• Prokaryotic cells have a continuous loop of chromosomal DNA (a circular chromosome). Eukaryotic cells have linear chromosomes. So for "Continuous loop of chromosomal DNA", the box for prokaryotic cells is checked and for eukaryotic cells is not.
• As mentioned above, linear chromosomes are a feature of eukaryotic cells. So for "Linear chromosomes", the box for eukaryotic cells is checked and for prokaryotic cells is not.
• Mitochondria are membrane - bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells lack mitochondria. Eukaryotic cells (animal and plant cells etc.) have mitochondria. So for "Mitochondria", the box for prokaryotic cells is not checked and for eukaryotic cells is checked.

Answer:

	Prokaryotic cells	Eukaryotic cells
Continuous loop of chromosomal DNA	✔
Linear chromosomes		✔
Mitochondria		✔
