What are prokaryotes?

Back

Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Examples include bacteria.

Front

What are eukaryotes?

Back

Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Examples include plants, animals, and fungi.

Front

What is a key difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not.

Front

What organelle is found in plant cells but not in animal cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are found in plant cells and are responsible for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts convert sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What type of cells are typically unicellular?

Back

Prokaryotic cells are typically unicellular.

Front

What type of cell lacks membrane-bound organelles?

Back

Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles.

Front

What is the function of a vacuole in plant cells?

Back

Vacuoles store nutrients, waste products, and help maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.

Front

What is the role of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells?

Back

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

Front

What are membrane-bound organelles?

Back

Membrane-bound organelles are specialized structures within a cell that are enclosed by membranes, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum.
