Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the basic differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have a more complex structure compared to prokaryotic cells.
Identify the key structural components of eukaryotic cells: they have a nucleus and various membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus.
Recognize that prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, do not have a nucleus. Their genetic material is not enclosed within a membrane.
Note that prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles. Their cellular functions occur in the cytoplasm or are associated with the cell membrane.
Compare the options given: 'Nucleus and membrane-bound organelles' are features unique to eukaryotic cells, whereas the other options include features that are present in both cell types.
