Question

which structures are found in each cell type? complete the table.
lysosomes
dna
endoplasmic reticulum
prokaryotic cells
plant cells
animal cells

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Prokaryotic cells

Prokaryotic cells have DNA as their genetic material. They lack membrane - bound organelles like lysosomes and a well - developed endoplasmic reticulum.

Step2: Analyze Plant cells

Plant cells are eukaryotic. They have DNA. They also have an endoplasmic reticulum (both rough and smooth ER) which is involved in protein and lipid synthesis. Lysosomes are not as prominent in plant cells as in animal cells (plant cells have vacuoles that can perform some similar degradation functions in a less specialized way).

Step3: Analyze Animal cells

Animal cells are eukaryotic. They have DNA. They have an endoplasmic reticulum for protein and lipid synthesis. Lysosomes are important organelles in animal cells that contain digestive enzymes for breaking down waste materials, cellular debris, and foreign substances.

Answer:

• Prokaryotic cells: DNA
• Plant cells: DNA, Endoplasmic reticulum
• Animal cells: DNA, Endoplasmic reticulum, Lysosomes
