There are several differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The correct options are There are fewer structures in the cell on the top and The structures in the cells are similar.
This is probably a question comparing prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Since I do not have the image, I will compare their structure.
The eukaryotic cell is bigger-sized than the prokaryotic cell.
The prokaryotic cell has fewer internal structures than the Eukaryotic cells.
However, some of these structures are shared by both cells, such as DNA, cytoplasm, ribosomes, cell membrane, cell wall.
Eukaryotic cells have a nuclear membrane protecting the linear genetic material, while the prokaryotic cells lack a nuclear membrane, and the circular DNA is free in the cytosol.
Other organelles can only be found in the eukaryotic cells. Some of them are the chloroplasts, mitochondria, cytoskeleton, endoplasmatic reticulum, Golgi complex, vacuole, and vesicles.
The structures present in the prokaryotic cell that are not found in the eukaryotic cells are capsule or pili.
The correct options are,
There are fewer structures in the cell on the top ⇒ Prokaryotic cell
The structures in the cells are similar ⇒ Some of the structures are present in both cells.
