4. Look at your table and answer the following questions:

1. What aspects do your examples have in common?
Most cells contain the same elements but have different functions.
2. What aspects they don´t share?
Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus compared to eukaryotes, but each cell has its
own function.

5. Reflect upon your examples and determine whether or not they comply with the
postulates of the cell theory.
In my opinion, they do comply with the cell theory since all of them contain some
living organism.
