Michelle has been given a microscope slide that contains a eukaryotic cell and a prokaryotic cell. What should she look for to distinguish the eukaryotic cell from the prokaryotic cell?

Prokaryotic cells have a nuclear while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus. Eukaryotes have membrane bound organelles. Eukaryotes have chromosomes while prokaryotes do not. Also prokaryotic cells have circular DNA while eukaryotic cells have linear DNA, or "double helix".
