Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells Exit Ticket

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 is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

The main difference is that prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do.

Front

What type of organisms are made up of prokaryotic cells?

Back

Bacteria and archaea are made up of prokaryotic cells.

Front

What type of organisms are made up of eukaryotic cells?

Back

Plants, animals, fungi, and protists are made up of eukaryotic cells.

Front

Do prokaryotic cells have a cell wall?

Back

Yes, most prokaryotic cells have a rigid cell wall that provides structure and protection.

Front

Do eukaryotic cells have a cell wall?

Back

Some eukaryotic cells, like plant cells, have a cell wall, while animal cells do not.

Front

What is the function of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells?

Back

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

Front

Can prokaryotic cells reproduce?

Back

Yes, prokaryotic cells can reproduce asexually through a process called binary fission.

Front

Can eukaryotic cells reproduce?

Back

Yes, eukaryotic cells can reproduce both asexually (e.g., mitosis) and sexually (e.g., meiosis).
