I don't see the students' table in your message — can you paste the observations (or upload the image)? I need the actual features for each sample to pick the two prokaryotic cells.

Meanwhile, here are the criteria to use so you can pick them yourself:
- Prokaryotic cells: no membrane‑bound nucleus, no membrane‑bound organelles (no mitochondria, ER, Golgi, chloroplasts), often have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan (bacteria), may have plasmids, 70S ribosomes, small/simple flagella, circular DNA, and reproduce by binary fission.
- Eukaryotic cells: have a true nucleus and membrane‑bound organelles (mitochondria, ER, Golgi, chloroplasts in plants/algae), 80S ribosomes, linear chromosomes.

So choose the two samples that show “no nucleus” and lack organelles (or that show plasmids/peptidoglycan/70S ribosomes/circular DNA). If you paste the table, I’ll pick the two for you.
