Maya and James are having a debate about cells. Can you help them figure out the main differences between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells?

• Maya says Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, while Prokaryotic cells do not. Is she right?

• James insists Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus, while Eukaryotic cells do not. Could he be correct?

• Both agree that both have a nucleus, but Eukaryotic cells are larger. Is their agreement spot on?

• They also wonder if neither have a nucleus, but Prokaryotic cells are larger. Could this be true?
