Answer
Prokaryotic Cells:
- Bacterium cell
- Blue-green algae cell (cyanobacteria)
Eukaryotic Cells:
- Amoeba cell
- Human cheek cell
- Onion peel cell
The key distinguishing factor is that prokaryotic cells (bacteria and blue-green algae) lack a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells (Amoeba, human cells, plant cells) possess these structures, making them more complex and organized.
