Question

which two sentences identify the characteristics of a prokaryote?
most prokaryotes lack well - defined organelles. they can move from one place to another using cilia. they use pseudopods to engulf food. the presence of peptidoglycan in their cell walls allows them to be visible on staining. all prokaryotes are heterotrophic in nature

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are defined by lacking membrane-bound, well-defined organelles. Additionally, nearly all prokaryotes have peptidoglycan in their cell walls, which makes them visible with Gram staining. Cilia are not a common prokaryotic locomotion structure (they use flagella instead), pseudopods are typical of eukaryotes like amoebas, and many prokaryotes are autotrophic (e.g., cyanobacteria), so those statements are incorrect.

Answer:

1. Most prokaryotes lack well-defined organelles.
2. The presence of peptidoglycan in their cell walls allows them to be visible on staining.
