Cells perform many functions in living organisms. Which of the following processes occur in eukaryotic cells but not in prokaryotic cells?
A
Protein synthesis
B
Glycolysis
C
Mitosis
D
Photosynthesis
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not.
Identify the processes listed: Protein synthesis, Glycolysis, Mitosis, and Photosynthesis.
Recognize that protein synthesis and glycolysis occur in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Protein synthesis happens in ribosomes, and glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm.
Understand that mitosis is a process of cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells. It involves the division of the nucleus, which is absent in prokaryotic cells.
Photosynthesis can occur in both eukaryotic cells (such as plant cells) and some prokaryotic cells (such as cyanobacteria). Therefore, it is not exclusive to eukaryotic cells.
