2nd pd Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Cells

Front

What is a prokaryotic cell?

Back

A prokaryotic cell is a simple, single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Examples include bacteria.

Front

What is a eukaryotic cell?

Back

A eukaryotic cell is a complex cell that contains a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Examples include plant and animal cells.

Front

What are the main differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells are smaller, simpler, and lack a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells are larger, more complex, and have a nucleus.

Front

Which type of cells are plants and animals made of?

Back

Plants and animals are made of eukaryotic cells.

Front

True or False: Prokaryotic cells can have organelles.

Back

False, prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles.

Front

True or False: Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells.

Back

True, eukaryotic cells have a more complex structure.

Front

What types of organisms are made up of eukaryotic cells?

Back

Animals, plants, fungi, and protists are all made up of eukaryotic cells.

Front

What is the function of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells?

Back

The nucleus stores the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls the cell's activities.

Front

What is an organelle?

Back

An organelle is a specialized structure within a cell that performs a specific function.

Front

Give an example of a prokaryotic organism.

Back

Bacteria are examples of prokaryotic organisms.
