Characteristics of Cells

Color the squares of the information relative to prokaryotic cells in red. Color the squares of the eukaryotic cells blue.

• It's a single cell organism that does not have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles.

• It's an organism in which DNA is located in the nucleus.

• It's DNA is contained in the cytoplasm.

• It might be unicellular or multicellular.
