Based on the worksheet provided, here is the solution to the task.
Reasoning
The task asks to match cell characteristics to either a
Prokaryote or a
Eukaryote.
1.
Bacteria and cyanobacteria: These are the classic examples of simple cells without a nucleus. They are
Prokaryotes.
2.
All other cells: This refers to plant, animal, fungi, and protist cells, which are complex. They are
Eukaryotes.
3.
No nuclear: Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus. The word "nuclear" here likely refers to the nucleus. So, this is a
Prokaryote characteristic.
4.
True nuclear: Eukaryotes have a "true" nucleus that holds their DNA. This is a
Eukaryote characteristic.
5.
Lack membrane-bound organelles: Prokaryotes are simple and do not have complex parts like mitochondria or chloroplasts wrapped in membranes. This is a
Prokaryote characteristic.
6.
Possess subcellular organelles: Eukaryotes have many specialized parts (organelles) inside them. This is a
Eukaryote characteristic.
7.
Evolve from much smaller prokaryotic cells: The theory of endosymbiosis suggests that complex eukaryotic cells evolved from simpler prokaryotic ancestors. This is a
Eukaryote characteristic.
8.
Contain DNR: This is a typo for DNA. Both cell types contain genetic material. Therefore,
Both (or Prokaryote and Eukaryote) is the correct answer.
9.
DNR is visible as a long irregularly shaped molecule: In prokaryotes, the DNA is a single, long loop floating in the cytoplasm (nucleoid region). In eukaryotes, it is tightly packed into chromosomes. This description fits the
Prokaryote.
10.
DNR is packaged together with special proteins, called chromosomes: Eukaryotic DNA is wrapped around proteins (histones) to form distinct chromosomes. This is a
Eukaryote characteristic.
11.
Specific number of chromosomes: Eukaryotes have a specific number of chromosomes (e.g., humans have 46). Prokaryotes usually have just one circular DNA molecule. This is a
Eukaryote characteristic.
12.
Cell membrane, cytoplasm and various organelles: While both have membranes and cytoplasm, the mention of "various organelles" points to the complex structure of the
Eukaryote.
13.
Have ribosomes and make proteins: Both cell types need to make proteins to survive, and both have ribosomes to do it. This is a
Both characteristic.
Final Answer:
Bacteria and cyanobacteria: Prokaryote
All other cells: Eukaryote
No nuclear: Prokaryote
True nuclear: Eukaryote
Lack membrane-bound organelles: Prokaryote
Possess subcellular organelles: Eukaryote
Evolve from much smaller prokaryotic cells: Eukaryote
Contain DNR (DNA): Both
DNR is visible as a long irregularly shaped molecule: Prokaryote
DNR is packaged together with special proteins, called chromosomes: Eukaryote
Specific number of chromosomes: Eukaryote
Cell membrane, cytoplasm and various organelles: Eukaryote
Have ribosomes and make proteins: Both
