Step-by-step explanation:

All prokaryotic cells have the same basic structure:

1. The plasma membrane encloses the cell, regulating the traffic of materials into and out of the cell and separating it from its environment.

2. A region called the nucleoid contains the hereditary material (DNA) of the cell.

3. The cytoplasm is composed of two parts: the liquid cytosol, and insoluble suspended particles, including ribosomes

4. some prokaryotes developed specialized structures that gave a selective advantage to those cells that had them. These structures include a protective cell wall.

Like prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells have a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes. But added to this basic organization are compartments in the cytoplasm whose interiors are separated from the cytosol by a membrane. These membranous compartments are called organelles. On the other hand, in eukaryotic cells, the nucleus contains most of the cell’s genetic material (DNA).

Now, consider the following table:

Based on the above definitions before the table, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

Answer:

A. Cell 1 is prokaryotic; Cell 2 is from an animal.
