Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the key differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are simpler and do not have a true nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells do.
Recognize that animal cells and plant cells are types of eukaryotic cells, which means they have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Identify that prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, lack a true nucleus. Instead, their genetic material is located in a region called the nucleoid, which is not enclosed by a membrane.
Understand that prokaryotic cells also lack other membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus, which are present in eukaryotic cells.
Conclude that the type of cell that lacks a true nucleus and any membrane-bound organelles is the prokaryotic cell.
