Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of a prokaryotic cell?

Back

Bacterial cells are examples of prokaryotic cells.

Front

What is an example of a eukaryotic cell?

Back

Animal and plant cells are examples of eukaryotic cells.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.
