Question
unicellular organisms can be prokaryotic or eukaryotic, but all complex multicellular organisms are made up of eukaryotic cells. in general, prokaryotic cells are smaller and structurally less complex than eukaryotic cells, but they have more diverse ways to get energy and process nutrients. for example, there are prokaryotic organisms that can make their own food from carbon dioxide gas and therefore can live in extreme places that are inhospitable to most other organisms. decide whether each sentence describes a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell. a cell lives in a boiling hot spring. it uses chemicals like sulfur for energy instead of sunlight or food. its dna floats freely inside of its cytoplasm. a cell lives in a pond. it contains specialized parts surrounded by membranes that help it perform functions like producing energy, digesting food, and moving. choose choose prokaryotic eukaryotic
Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles, and can live in extreme environments. Their DNA floats freely in the cytoplasm. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and more complex structures. The first description (living in a boiling hot spring and using sulfur for energy with free - floating DNA) fits prokaryotic cells. The second description (cells with specialized parts surrounded by membranes) fits eukaryotic cells.
