Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells: Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not.
Recall that animal cells and plant cells are both types of eukaryotic cells, meaning they contain a nucleus enclosed by a membrane.
Identify that the question asks for the type of cell that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus, which excludes all eukaryotic cells.
Recognize that prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria and archaea, have genetic material that is not enclosed within a nuclear membrane.
Conclude that the correct answer is a prokaryotic cell because it lacks a membrane-bound nucleus.
