Answer 1

Answer:

A difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells is that a eukaryotic cell contains a defined nucleus and membranous organelles, whereas a prokaryotic cell does not.

Explanation:

The most striking feature of a prokaryote cell is the absence of a defined nucleus. This means that the genetic material is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane and is therefore dispersed in the cytoplasm. In prokaryotes, the bacterial chromosome and plasmids (small circular free DNA molecules in the cytoplasm) are also found.

It is worth noting, however, that the prokaryote cell does not differ only in the absence of a nucleus. In these cells, there is also no presence of membranous organelles. This means that no structures such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex and vacuoles are found.

Answer 2

Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not.
