Which is true about prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• They both have mitochondria.

• They are both highly complex cells.

• They both have DNA.

• They both have a nucleus.

What is different about prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Prokaryotic cells make up all plants and eukaryotic cells make up all animals.

• Eukaryotic cells have ribosomes and prokaryotic cells do not.

• Prokaryotic cells don’t have a cell membrane and eukaryotic cells do.

• Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not.

What is a main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Prokaryotic cells have free floating DNA while eukaryotic cells have DNA contained in a nucleus.

• Prokaryotic cells have ribosomes and eukaryotic cells do not.

• Prokaryotic cells have a cell wall and eukaryotic cells only have a cell membrane.

• Prokaryotic cells have DNA contained in a nucleus and eukaryotic cells have free floating DNA.
