Question

WILL FAN AND MEDAL

How are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells alike?

A. both cell types have chloroplasts.

B. both contain genetic material.

C. both have a membrane-bound nucleus.

D. both cell types contain an endomembrane system.

Answer 1

What do you think it is?

Answer 2

A

Answer 3

Ok so why do you think that

Answer 4

can you prove that all prokaryotes have chloroplast? or that all eukaryotes have chloroplast?

Answer 5

I believe the answer C.

Answer 6

really not sure because I havn't done this for 3 months

Answer 7

A. both cell types have chloroplasts.

B. both contain genetic material.

C. both have a membrane-bound nucleus.

D. both cell types contain an endomembrane system.


okay lets do it this way
which one is wrong answer for this question and you are 100% sure about it being wrong?

Answer 8

D

Answer 9

good job
thats indeed right
eukaryotic cell DOES have it
while prokaryotic DOESNT

Answer 10

okay lets narrow it down more

Answer 11

do both of them have nucleus?

Answer 12

no

Answer 13

which one does which one does not?

Answer 14

eukaryotic does and prokaryotic doesn't

Answer 15

soo can't you eliminate C. both have a membrane-bound nucleus. this too?

Answer 16

membrane bound means - has membrane
and indeed nucleus has membrane
it has a double membrane - inner and outer envelope

Answer 17

the question is asking for similarity
so we said one has nucleus while the other doesnt
which means its difference rather than similarity so we can eliminate option C along with D right?

Answer 18

so it would be B right?

Answer 19

bingo!
A. both cell types have chloroplasts.
this is partially true BUT the problem is that it doesn't apply to ALL types of prokaryotes or eukaryotes
meaning there are prokaryotes that do have chloroplast but there are also that do not have it
same goes for eukaryotes - there are the one that have it such as plants while there are the ones that do not have it such as animal cells

B. both contain genetic material.
now this is right, why?
well thats because both have DNA
its just in prokaryotes its 'naked DNA' in the cytoplasm while in eukaryotes its inside the nucleus
thats about it
hope it makes it clear :)

Answer 20

yep sure as long as you wish to learn :)
but open a new question for it, okay? coz it will be pretty messed up )

Answer 21
