Front

What are Prokaryotes?

Back

Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. They include bacteria and archaea.

Front

What are Eukaryotes?

Back

Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. They can be unicellular or multicellular, such as plants, animals, and fungi.

What is a key difference between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes?

Back

Prokaryotes do not have membrane-bound organelles, while Eukaryotes do.

Front

What type of DNA do Prokaryotes have?

Back

Prokaryotes have circular DNA that floats freely in the cell, known as nucleoid.

Front

What type of DNA do Eukaryotes have?

Back

Eukaryotes have linear DNA organized into chromosomes within a nucleus.

Front

Are Prokaryotes unicellular or multicellular?

Back

Prokaryotes are primarily unicellular organisms.

Front

Are Eukaryotes unicellular or multicellular?

Back

Eukaryotes can be either unicellular (like yeast) or multicellular (like plants and animals).

Front

What is an example of a Prokaryote?

Back

Bacteria are a common example of Prokaryotes.

Front

What is an example of a Eukaryote?

Back

An orange tree is an example of a multicellular Eukaryote.
