Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

Front

What is a Prokaryotic cell?

Back

A Prokaryotic cell is a simple, unicellular 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 are ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are small structures found in both Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells that are responsible for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of the nucleus?

Back

The nucleus is the control center of the cell that contains DNA and regulates gene expression.

Front

Are Prokaryotic cells unicellular or multicellular?

Back

Prokaryotic cells are unicellular.

Front

Are Eukaryotic cells unicellular or multicellular?

Back

Eukaryotic cells can be unicellular (like yeast) or multicellular (like plants and animals).

Front

What is the size comparison between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells are generally much smaller than Eukaryotic cells.

Front

Do Prokaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles?

Back

No, Prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles.

Front

What is an example of a Prokaryotic organism?

Back

Bacteria are a common example of Prokaryotic organisms.
