Answer:

1. The distinguishing feature of a prokaryotic cell is that it has no nucleus or internal membranes, so unlike eukaryotic cells they contain no membrane bound organelles, In some prokaryotes infolding of the cell membrane in a mesosome or photosynthetic lamellae increases the membranes surface area.

2.Of all eukaryotic organelles, the nucleus is perhaps the most critical. In fact, the mere presence of a nucleus is considered one of the defining features of a eukaryotic cell. This structure is so important because it is the site at which the cell's DNA is housed and the process of interpreting it begins.

3.Chloroplasts are organelles that conduct photosynthesis, where the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll captures the energy from sunlight, converts it, and stores it in the energy-storage molecules ATP and NADPH while freeing oxygen from water in plant and algal cells
