Question

1. the basic unit of life is the cell. 3. what is the difference in eukaryotic & prokaryotic cells?

Explanation:

For question 2: The basic unit of life is the cell, as cells are the fundamental structural and functional units of all living organisms, carrying out essential life processes.
For question 3: Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles (like mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum), and their genetic material is enclosed within the nucleus. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles; their genetic material (usually a single circular DNA) is in the cytoplasm (nucleoid region). Also, prokaryotes (e.g., bacteria) are generally smaller and simpler, while eukaryotes (e.g., plants, animals, fungi) are larger and more complex in structure and function.

Answer:

Question 2: The cell
Question 3: Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, membrane - bound organelles, and enclosed genetic material. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus, membrane - bound organelles, with genetic material in the nucleoid (cytoplasm), and are smaller/simpler.
