EOC Review: Structure & Function of Cells

Front

What are stem cells?

Back

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can develop into many types of cells.

Front

What type of cell is a prokaryote?

Back

Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Front

During which stage of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?

Back

DNA is replicated during the Interphase stage of the cell cycle.

Front

What type of specialized cell has many mitochondria and can contract?

Back

Muscle cells have many mitochondria and are specialized for contraction.

Front

How do bacteria (prokaryotes) reproduce?

Back

Bacteria reproduce asexually by a process called binary fission.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria in cells?

Back

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have them.

Front

What is the role of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Front

What is the purpose of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is the process by which a cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and divides.

Front

What are the main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

The main stages of the cell cycle are Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis.
