Question
unicellular organisms can be prokaryotic or eukaryotic, but all complex multicellular organisms are made up of eukaryotic cells. in general, prokaryotic cells are smaller and structurally less complex than eukaryotic cells, but they have more diverse ways to get energy and process nutrients. for example, there are prokaryotic organisms that can make their own food from carbon dioxide gas and therefore can live in extreme places that are inhospitable to most other organisms. decide whether each sentence describes a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell. a cell lives in a boiling hot spring. it uses chemicals like sulfur for energy instead of sunlight or food. its dna floats freely inside of its cytoplasm. choose choose prokaryotic eukaryotic a cell lives in a pond. it contains specialized parts surrounded by membranes that help it perform functions like producing energy, digesting food, and moving around. choose
Prokaryotic cells can live in extreme environments and have free - floating DNA in the cytoplasm. Eukaryotic cells have membrane - bound organelles for various functions. The first cell lives in an extreme environment (boiling hot spring) and has free - floating DNA, so it's prokaryotic. The second cell has membrane - bound specialized parts (organelles), so it's eukaryotic.
