Question

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

Explanation:

• Linear chromosomes: Eukaryotic cells have linear chromosomes. Prokaryotic cells have circular DNA (not linear chromosomes).
• Mitochondria: Mitochondria are membrane - bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells lack membrane - bound organelles (so no mitochondria), while eukaryotic cells can have mitochondria (e.g., animal and plant cells).
• Membrane - bound organelles: Prokaryotic cells do not have membrane - bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells have various membrane - bound organelles like the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, etc.
• Continuous loop of chromosomal DNA: Prokaryotic cells have a single, circular (continuous loop) chromosomal DNA. Eukaryotic cells have linear chromosomes (not a continuous loop for the main chromosomal DNA).

Answer:

	Prokaryotic cells	Eukaryotic cells
Mitochondria		✔
Membrane - bound organelles		✔
Continuous loop of chromosomal DNA	✔
