What is eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not?
The functions of a seed in this state are slowed down until the conditions are right for growth.
What is dormant?

What is hibernation?

These basic organisms are an example of prokaryotic.
What are bacteria?

(answers will vary)

This means it is not alive, never has been or never will be.
What is non-living?
The hissing sound of a cockroach is this type of adaptation.
What is a behavioral adaptation?
These are the two main things that a plant cell has that an animal cell does not.
What are chloroplasts and a cell wall?
In this type of organism, DNA is freely floating in an area of the cell without a nuclear membrane.
What is a prokaryote?
These are structures or behaviors that help animals survive.
What are adaptations?
An individual plant, animal, or single-celled life form that can live independently.

What are mitochondria?
Organelles found in both prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.
What are ribosomes, cytoplasm, and cell membranes?
If someone saw an item moving and said "It must be alive!" they would be incorrect because of this reason.
