Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotes, like animal cells, do.
Identify the structures listed in the problem: Nucleus, Cell wall, Mitochondria, and Plasmid.
Recall that a nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells, not in prokaryotes.
Recognize that mitochondria are also membrane-bound organelles present in eukaryotic cells, not in prokaryotes.
Understand that plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules found in prokaryotes, such as bacteria, and are not typically found in animal cells. This makes plasmids unique to prokaryotes in this context.
