Some students used information they gathered from lab investigations to prepare a table. They entered the table in their lab notebooks.

Which of these correctly identifies the two cells described in the table?
Cell 1 is prokaryotic, and Cell 2 is eukaryotic.
Both Cell 1 and Cell 2 are eukaryotic.
Both Cell 1 and Cell 2 are prokaryotic.
Cell 1 is eukaryotic, and Cell 2 is prokaryotic.

To accurately identify the cells described in the table, we would need specific information about the characteristics of Cell 1 and Cell 2. However, based on the options you provided:

  1. Cell 1 is prokaryotic, and Cell 2 is eukaryotic.
  2. Both Cell 1 and Cell 2 are eukaryotic.
  3. Both Cell 1 and Cell 2 are prokaryotic.
  4. Cell 1 is eukaryotic, and Cell 2 is prokaryotic.

To determine the correct identification, you would need to consider the defining features of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells:

  • Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller, lack a nucleus, and do not have membrane-bound organelles. Examples include bacteria and archaea.
  • Eukaryotic cells are larger, have a defined nucleus, and contain various membrane-bound organelles. Examples include plant cells, animal cells, fungi, and protists.

If you have access to the specific characteristics or information presented in the table, you can compare them to the above definitions to determine which of the four options is correct.

If you can provide more details about Cell 1 and Cell 2, I can help you further identify them correctly.
