Understand the basic differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not.
Identify the structures listed in the problem: ribosomes, cytoplasm, cell membrane, and nucleus.
Recognize that ribosomes, cytoplasm, and cell membranes are present in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
Recall 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 structure present in eukaryotic cells but absent in prokaryotic cells.
