Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not.
Identify the cellular structures listed in the problem: cytoplasm, cell membrane, ribosomes, and nucleus.
Recognize that cytoplasm, cell membrane, and ribosomes are present in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
Learn that the nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that houses the cell's genetic material and is a defining feature of eukaryotic cells.
Conclude that the nucleus is the cellular structure present in eukaryotic cells but absent in prokaryotic cells.
