Here’s where each structure/description applies:
| Description/Structure | Prokaryotic Cells only | Both Types of Cells | Eukaryotic Cells only | |-------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------|---------------------|-----------------------| | Membrane bound organelles (like mitochondria) | | | ✔ | | Ribosomes | | ✔ | | | No Nucleus | ✔ | | | | Nucleus | | | ✔ | | NO membrane bound organelles (like mitochondria) | ✔ | | | | Genetic material | | ✔ | |
So, to summarize:
- Membrane bound organelles apply to eukaryotic cells only.
- Ribosomes apply to both types of cells.
- No nucleus applies to prokaryotic cells only.
- Nucleus applies to eukaryotic cells only.
- No membrane bound organelles apply to prokaryotic cells only.
- Genetic material applies to both types of cells.
