What distinguishes eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic cells?
What distinguishes eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic cells?
Eukaryotic cells are complex and contain a nucleus, while prokaryotic cells are simpler and do not have a nucleus.
Explain the role of the rigid cell wall in plant cells.
Explain the role of the rigid cell wall in plant cells.
The rigid cell wall supports and strengthens the plant cell, protecting it from mechanical stress.
