Question

1. compare and contrast prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells and give an example of each. fill in the table with the characteristics in the word bank. no nucleus more complex larger always unicellular very simple contains nucleus nucleus usually multicellular plasma/cell membrane cytoplasm no membrane - bound organelles has membrane - bound organelles smaller prokaryotic cell both eukaryotic cell

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles, are usually smaller and simpler, and are always unicellular. Examples include bacteria. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles, can be larger and more complex, and are usually multicellular (though some are unicellular like yeast). Both have a plasma/cell membrane and cytoplasm.

Answer:

Prokaryotic Cell	Both	Eukaryotic Cell
Example: Bacteria		Example: Yeast (unicellular) or Animal/Plant cells (multicellular)
