Question

which structures are found in each cell type? complete the table. prokaryotic cells plant cells animal cells chloroplasts golgi ribosomes

Explanation:

• Chloroplasts: These are organelles for photosynthesis. Prokaryotes lack membrane - bound organelles (except for some photosynthetic bacteria which have thylakoid - like structures but not true chloroplasts). Animal cells do not perform photosynthesis, so no chloroplasts. Plant cells (specifically in photosynthetic tissues) have chloroplasts.
• Golgi: It is a membrane - bound organelle involved in protein and lipid modification and sorting. Prokaryotes lack membrane - bound organelles. Both plant and animal cells (eukaryotic) have Golgi apparatus.
• Ribosomes: These are non - membrane - bound organelles (in prokaryotes, they are 70S; in eukaryotes, 80S but with some 70S in mitochondria and chloroplasts) essential for protein synthesis. All cells (prokaryotic, plant, animal) need to synthesize proteins, so they have ribosomes.

Answer:

• Chloroplasts: Prokaryotic cells (no), Plant cells (yes), Animal cells (no)
• Golgi: Prokaryotic cells (no), Plant cells (yes), Animal cells (yes)
• Ribosomes: Prokaryotic cells (yes), Plant cells (yes), Animal cells (yes)
