Imagine you are a scientist studying cellular structures. You are trying to distinguish between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. What would be the main difference you would observe? 

• Prokaryotic cells have a cell membrane but eukaryotic cells do not.

• Eukaryotic cells contain DNA in a nucleus while prokaryotic cells do not.

• Eukaryotic cells have flagella but prokaryotic cells do not.

• Prokaryotic cells contain membrane-bound ribosomes while eukaryotic cells do not. 

You are a tiny creature living in a microscopic world. You come across various structures in every living cell you visit. What are these structures?

• cell membrane and cytoplasm

• chloroplasts and mitochondria

• a cell wall and nucleus

• chloroplasts and cell wall
