Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is one thing that eukaryotic (plant and animal) cells DO have that prokaryotic (bacteria) cells DO NOT have?
A
Nucleus
B
Cell Wall
C
Cytoplasm
D
Cell Membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not. Differences in cellular structure of prokaryotes and eukaryotes include the presence of mitochondria and chloroplasts, the cell wall, and the structure of chromosomal DNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -The primary difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles are only present in eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Prokaryotes are organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles. Prokaryotes are divided into two distinct groups: the bacteria and the archaea, which scientists believe have unique evolutionary lineages. Most prokaryotes are small, single-celled organisms that have a relatively simple structure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bacteria are prokaryotes, lacking well-defined nuclei and membrane-bound organelles, and with chromosomes composed of a single closed DNA circle.

Detailed explanation-5: -The primary distinction between these two types of organisms is that eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not. The nucleus is where eukaryotes store their genetic information.
