b)

prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells both have a nucleus, but only prokaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles

c)

eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, whereas prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles

d)

prokaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, whereas eukaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles

the skeletal system provides support for the body, facilitation of movement, protection of internal organs, storage of minerals and fat, and blood cell formation

b)

the muscular system enables movement and blood circulation, and also gives support and protection

c)

the nervous system is responsible for communication within the body and controlling body movements

d)

the cardiovascular system is responsible for protecting the inside of the body from elements in the environment—like bacteria, pollution, and UV rays from the sun
