Question

1. what does the word eukaryote mean? 15. based on the above word definitions, label the cells in model 1 and model 2 as prokaryotic or eukaryotic. 16. by comparing model 1 and model 2, what structures are the same in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? 17. what differences are there between a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell?

Explanation:

1. A eukaryote is an organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane - bound organelles.
2. Without seeing the models, it's impossible to label the cells accurately based on the given word definitions. But if a cell has a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles, it is eukaryotic; if not, it is prokaryotic.
3. Common structures in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells include cell membranes, ribosomes, and DNA.
4. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles, are generally smaller and simpler. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus enclosed by a nuclear membrane and various membrane - bound organelles like mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum etc., and are more complex.

Answer:

1. An organism with cells having a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles.
2. Cannot be determined without seeing the models.
3. Cell membrane, ribosomes, DNA.
4. Prokaryotic cells: No nucleus, no membrane - bound organelles, smaller and simpler. Eukaryotic cells: Have a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles, more complex.
