Question

a venn diagram comparing eukaryotic cells to prokaryotic cells is shown. which traits apply to each section of the diagram? move the answers to the correct boxes.
eukaryotic cells prokaryotic cells
has nucleus
contain dna does not have a nucleus has ribosomes

Explanation:

• Eukaryotic Cells only: Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, which is a membrane - bound organelle. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus.
• Both Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Cells:
• Both types of cells contain DNA. In eukaryotic cells, DNA is mainly in the nucleus, while in prokaryotic cells, it is in the nucleoid region (a non - membrane - bound area).
• Both have ribosomes. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis. In eukaryotic cells, ribosomes can be free in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. In prokaryotic cells, ribosomes are free in the cytoplasm.
• Prokaryotic Cells only: Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. Their genetic material is in the nucleoid region.

Answer:

• Eukaryotic Cells only: Has nucleus
• Both Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Cells: Contain DNA, Has ribosomes
• Prokaryotic Cells only: Does not have a nucleus
