Select whether the structure/description applies to prokaryotic cells only, eukaryotic cells only, or both types of cells.(3 points)

Prokaryotic Cells only Both Types of Cells Eukaryotic Cells only
Nucleus

Membrane bound organelles (like mitochondria)

Ribosomes

No Nucleus

Genetic material

NO membrane bound organelles (like mitochondria)

Here is how each structure/description applies to prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells, or both types of cells:

  1. Nucleus - Eukaryotic Cells only
  2. Membrane bound organelles (like mitochondria) - Eukaryotic Cells only
  3. Ribosomes - Both Types of Cells
  4. No Nucleus - Prokaryotic Cells only
  5. Genetic material - Both Types of Cells
  6. NO membrane bound organelles (like mitochondria) - Prokaryotic Cells only

So, the completed classification looks like this:

  • Prokaryotic Cells only: No Nucleus, NO membrane bound organelles (like mitochondria)
  • Both Types of Cells: Ribosomes, Genetic material
  • Eukaryotic Cells only: Nucleus, Membrane bound organelles (like mitochondria)
