**Comparison of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells**

| Feature                          | Prokaryotic Cells                                | Eukaryotic Cells                                 |
|----------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|
| **Size of cell**                 | Typically 0.2-2.0 μm in diameter                 | Typically 10-100 μm in diameter                  |
| **Nucleus**                      | No nuclear membrane or nucleoli (nucleoid)       | True nucleus, consisting of nuclear membrane & nucleoli |
| **Membrane-enclosed organelles** | Absent                                           | Present; examples include lysosomes, Golgi complex, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria & chloroplasts |
| **Cell wall**                    | Usually present; chemically complex (typical bacterial cell wall includes peptidoglycan) | When present, chemically simple                  |
| **Cytoplasm**                    | No cytoskeleton                                  | Cytoskeleton                                      |
| **Ribosomes**                    | Smaller size (70S)                               | Larger size (80S); smaller size (70S) in organelles |
| **Chromosome (DNA) arrangement** | Single circular chromosome; lacks histones       | Multiple linear chromosomes with histones        |

1. **Hypothesize why ribosomes are smaller in prokaryotes?**
   The small subunit (30S) of the ribosome is complexed with the large 50S subunit to form the 70S ribosome.

2. **Using the table above, provide 3 pieces of evidence that support the theory that eukaryotic cells developed from prokaryotic cells.**
   - The presence of membrane-enclosed organelles in eukaryotes suggests an evolution from simpler prokaryotic cells which lack such organelles.
   - The more chemically complex cell wall in prokaryotes, which evolved to be simpler in eukaryotes, indicates a shift towards more specialized internal structures in eukaryotes.
   - The presence of a cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells, absent in prokaryotic cells, demonstrates an evolutionary adaptation for maintaining cell structure and facilitating more complex intracellular transport.
