The DNA is described as free-floating. This means the DNA is not contained somewhere
in the cell.

To help the cell move better

These cells have the ability to move easily because of their shape.

Animal cells have 4 mitochondria, plants have 2. Animal cells have vesicles,
plants do not. Animal cells do not have a chloroplast, but plants do.

The DNA is located in the nucleus for both,

Yes
Animal cells have the boundaries of a cell membrane, while plants have the boundaries of
a cell membrane and a cell wall.

Animal cells do not have a cell wall, but plants do.

The cells in model 2 are more complex. These


cells have different structures like mitochondria
and a Golgi apparatus. Their DNA is located in
the nucleus. They both contain more ribosomes.

A cell that came first before any of the other cells.

A complex version of a prokaryote.

Both have cell membranes, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and DNA.

Prokaryotic cells are simpler, while eukaryotic cells are more complex.

Prokaryotic cells, one of the first living things that have a simple structure.

Eukaryotic cells, cells that came after prokaryotic cells and are more complicated.

All cells are not the same because not all cells contain the same structures.
All cells are not the same because prokaryotic cells are simpler than eukaryotic ones.

This analogy applies to cell structure because each cell has is own structures that
have different functions, but they all create the cell.
Prokaryotic cells have a simpler structure, so where they live and what they function as will
be less complex then eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells most likely to function in water,
while eukaryotic cells most likely to function as and help things such as plants and animals.

There are 2 writing utensils lying on a table. 1 is a simple, wooden pencil. 1 is a black-inked pen.
The pencil came before the pen, and it has a simpler structure. However, the pencil is still useful for
certain things. The black-inked pen came after the pencil, but its structure is more complicated. The pen
is useful for certain things, but so is the pencil. They're both different, but they both have their own purposes.
