Question

fill in the table below by indicating the presence or absence of each component or characteristic in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. also, indicate the presence or absence of each component in both plant and animal cells. use a checkmark (✓) to indicate presence and an x to indicate absence.

cellular component	prokaryotic cells	eukaryotic cells
nucleus
membrane bound organelles
ribosomes (and size 70s or 80s)
cell wall
cell (plasma) membrane
cytoplasm
chromosomes
flagella (if present)

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles. They have 70S ribosomes, a cell wall (in most cases), a cell membrane, cytoplasm, chromosomes (in the form of a circular DNA molecule), and may have flagella. Eukaryotic plant cells have a nucleus, membrane - bound organelles, 80S ribosomes, a cell wall, a cell membrane, cytoplasm, chromosomes, and may have flagella in some cases. Eukaryotic animal cells have a nucleus, membrane - bound organelles, 80S ribosomes, no cell wall (only a cell membrane), cytoplasm, chromosomes, and may have flagella in some cases.

Answer:

Cellular Component	Prokaryotic Cells	Eukaryotic Cells - Plant	Eukaryotic Cells - Animal
Membrane bound organelles	X	√	√
Ribosomes (and size 70S or 80s)	70S (√)	80S (√)	80S (√)
Cell Wall	√ (most)	√	X
Cell (plasma) membrane	√	√	√
Cytoplasm	√	√	√
Chromosomes	√	√	√
Flagella (if present)	√ (some)	√ (some)	√ (some)
