Flashcard on Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

Front

A prokaryotic cell is similar to a eukaryotic cell in that both types of cells contain —

Back

cytoplasm.

Front

How do prokaryotic cells differ from eukaryotic cells?

Back

Eukaryotic cells contain linear DNA, and prokaryotic cells contain circular DNA.

Front

In comparison to eukaryotic cells, most prokaryotic cells are very —

Back

small.

Front

Unlike a eukaryotic cell, a prokaryotic cell lacks —

Back

a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Front

A collection of different eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells are viewed through a microscope. Which of the following correctly matches the type of cell with its label? Options: Cells B and D are eukaryotic because they are round in shape and have flagella. Cells A, C, and E are prokaryotic because they are less than 2 micrometers in diameter. Cells B and D are prokaryotic because they are greater than 10 micrometers in diameter. Cells A, C, and E are eukaryotic because they are chained or rod shaped.

Back

Cells A, C, and E are prokaryotic because they are less than 2 micrometers in diameter.

a cell wall.

Front

Which statement accurately compares eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells? Options: Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells, Eukaryotic cells replicate faster than prokaryotic cells, Only prokaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, Only prokaryotic cells lack outer membranes and cell walls.

Back

Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells.

Front

Which organelle is found in eukaryotic cells but not in prokaryotic cells? Options: Cell membrane, Ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, Flagella

Back

Golgi apparatus

Front

What is the primary function of the cell membrane in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

To control what enters and exits the cell

Front

Which of the following is one of the components of the cell theory?

• All living things are made of atoms
• Cells arise spontaneously from non-living matter
• All cells come from pre-existing cells
• Cells can only be observed with electron microscopes

Back

All cells come from pre-existing cells
