Final answer:

Eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotes have few specialized structures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotes have few specialized structures. Eukaryotic cells contain many complex organelles that perform specific functions, such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, chloroplasts, and mitochondria. In contrast, prokaryotic cells lack these membrane-bound organelles and generally have simpler structures.

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Not all eukaryotes have cell walls, only plant cells do, and all prokaryotes have a cell wall (or a capsule too).

Prokaryotes can use flagella to move, or cillia, and eukayotes do not usually have these systems, unless its a protist or a smaller unicellular organism. Both types of cells could use active transport or difussion .
