Question

identify features that are present in eukaryotic cells but not in prokaryotic cells.
select all that apply.
a. a cell membrane
b. proteins
c. membrane - bounded organelles
d. a nucleus
e. cytoplasm

Explanation:

• Option A: Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have a cell membrane, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Both cell types have proteins, so B is incorrect.
• Option C: Eukaryotic cells have membrane - bounded organelles (like mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum), while prokaryotic cells do not. So C is correct.
• Option D: Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus (with a nuclear membrane), prokaryotic cells have a nucleoid (no nuclear membrane). So D is correct.
• Option E: Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have cytoplasm, so E is incorrect.

Answer:

C. Membrane - bounded organelles, D. A nucleus
