1. The two types of prokaryotes are Bacteria and Archaea.

2. The key difference is that eukaryotes have a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotes do not.

3. Semipermeable means that a membrane allows some substances to pass through it while blocking others, letting the cell control what enters and leaves.

4. Ribosomes build proteins by reading messenger RNA and assembling amino acids in the correct order.

5. The nucleus is important because it stores the cell’s DNA and controls the cell’s activities by regulating which genes are expressed and when.
