Front

What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells do.

Front

What type of cell is typically smaller, prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

Back

Prokaryotic cells are typically smaller than eukaryotic cells.

Front

Do both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain ribosomes?

Back

Yes, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain ribosomes.

Front

What is a defining feature of eukaryotic cells?

Back

Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Front

Can prokaryotic cells have a cell wall?

Back

Yes, many prokaryotic cells have a cell wall, which provides structure and protection.

Front

What is the genetic material in prokaryotic cells?

Back

The genetic material in prokaryotic cells is typically a single circular DNA molecule.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in cells?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Front

Do eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles?

Back

Yes, eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum.

Front

What is an example of a prokaryotic organism?

Back

Bacteria are examples of prokaryotic organisms.
