Question

Which of the following clues would tell you whether a cell is prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
(a) the presence or absence of a rigid cell wall
(b) whether or not the cell is partitioned by internal membranes
(c) the presence or absence of ribosomes
(d) whether or not the cell contains DNA

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: option a c and d would tell you whether the cell is prokaryotes or eukaryotes. a) prokaryotes do not have a cell wall whereas in eukaryotes only plant cell have.

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 only one of many membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotes. Prokaryotes, on the other hand, have no membrane-bound organelles.

What are three characteristics that differentiate an animal cell from a bacterial (prokaryotic) cell?

Location of DNA - in uekaryotes, it is within the nucleus while prokarytic it is within the nucleoid.

Presence of nuclear membrane - prokaryotes lack it.

Membrane bound Organelles - prokaryotic cell lacks this.

Explanation:

Difference Between Eukaryotic And Prokaryotic Cells

Eukaryotic Cell Prokaryotic Cell

Nucleus Yes No

Mitochondria Yes No

Membrane-bound Organelles Yes No

Example Organisms Plants, Fungi, Protists, Animals Bacteria, Archaea

Answer 2

The correct option is (b) whether or not the cell is partitioned by internal membranes.

Difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• In prokaryotes, the nucleoid is present that is not surrounded by a membrane while in eukaryotes membrane-bound nucleus is present where DNA is stored.
• In prokaryotes, internal membranes are absent while a eukaryotic cell is partitioned by internal membranes.

Similarity between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• The cell wall is present in all the prokaryotic cells. Some eukaryotes such as plant cells are also surrounded by cell walls.
• DNA is present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
• Ribosomes are present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells that are involved in the synthesis of proteins.
