question 9 of 10
the image below shows a prokaryotic cell. describe how this cell differs from
a eukaryotic cell.
a. it lacks ribosomes, which are structures found in eukaryotic cells.
b. it has a nucleus, which is a structure not found in eukaryotic cells.
c. it lacks a cell membrane, which is a structure found in eukaryotic
cells.
d. it has a cell wall, which is a structure not found in a number of
eukaryotic cells.

Explanation:

• Prokaryotic cells (like bacteria) have cell walls.
• Many eukaryotic cells (e.g., animal cells) lack cell walls.
• Prokaryotic cells have ribosomes (so A is wrong).
• Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus (so B is wrong).
• Prokaryotic cells have a cell membrane (so C is wrong).

Answer:

D. It has a cell wall, which is a structure not found in a number of eukaryotic cells.
