Michelle has been given a microscope slide that contains a eukaryotic cell and a prokaryotic cell What should she look for to distinguish the eukaryotic cell from the prokaryotic cell?

Answer 1

nucleus

Answer 2

Michelle can look for several distinguishing features: eukaryotic cells typically have a nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, and are generally larger and more complex compared to prokaryotic cells. On the other hand, prokaryotic cells lack a defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, often have a cell wall, and are generally smaller and simpler in structure. Additionally, eukaryotic cells may have multiple linear chromosomes while prokaryotic cells typically have a single circular chromosome.
