Question

part 2 - directions: using the same diagrams/illustration in part 1, define the two terms using your own words.

1. prokaryote / prokaryotic cell

1. eukaryote / eukaryotic cell

Explanation:

(for Prokaryote/Prokaryotic Cell):
A prokaryotic cell is a simple - structured cell. It lacks a true nucleus (the genetic material, like DNA, is not enclosed within a nuclear membrane) and also lacks membrane - bound organelles (such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc.). Organisms with prokaryotic cells are usually single - celled, like bacteria.

(for Eukaryote/Eukaryotic Cell):
A eukaryotic cell is a more complex cell. It has a true nucleus where the genetic material (DNA) is enclosed within a nuclear membrane. Additionally, it contains various membrane - bound organelles (like mitochondria for energy production, endoplasmic reticulum for protein synthesis and transport, etc.). Eukaryotic cells can be part of single - celled organisms (like yeast) or multi - celled organisms (like plants, animals, and fungi).

Answer:

1. Prokaryote / Prokaryotic Cell: A type of cell (or organism with such cells) that has no true nucleus (DNA is not membrane - bound) and no membrane - bound organelles, e.g., bacteria.
2. Eukaryote / Eukaryotic Cell: A type of cell (or organism with such cells) that has a true nucleus (DNA in a nuclear membrane) and membrane - bound organelles, e.g., plant, animal, fungal cells.
