Question

drag the tiles into the venn diagram to compare prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells:

Prokaryotic Cell (Yellow Only):

• Unenclosed DNA: Prokaryotes have circular DNA (nucleoid) not enclosed in a nucleus.
• Smaller: Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller (e.g., bacteria) than eukaryotes.

Overlap (Both Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic):

• Contains DNA: All living cells (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) have DNA as genetic material.
• Living cell: Both prokaryotes (e.g., bacteria) and eukaryotes (e.g., plants, animals) are living cells.

Eukaryotic Cell (Blue Only):

• Enclosed DNA: Eukaryotes have DNA in a nucleus (enclosed by a nuclear membrane).
• Larger: Eukaryotic cells (e.g., plant/animal cells) are generally larger than prokaryotes.

Answer:

• Prokaryotic Cell (Yellow): Unenclosed DNA, Smaller
• Overlap (Green): Contains DNA, Living cell
• Eukaryotic Cell (Blue): Enclosed DNA, Larger
