RC1: 4.A Quiz 1

Some eukaryotic cells and most prokaryotic cells contain-

• viruses, which are infections microbes.
• plasmids, which are structures that hold DNA.
• bacteria, which are unicellular microorganisms. 
• vacuole, which are organelles that hold water and nutrients. 

Which of the following is not a characteristic of prokaryotic cells?

• Genetic Material
• Cell Membrane 
• Ribosomes
• Endoplasmic Reticulum

A collection of different eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells are viewed through a microscope. Which of the following correctly matched the type of cell labeled?

• Cells A, C, and E are prokaryotic because they are less than 2 micrometers in diameter. 
• Cells B and D and prokaryotic because they are greater than 10 micrometers in diameter. 
• Cells B and D are eukaryotic because they are round in shape and have flagella. 
• Cells A, C, and E are eukaryotic because they are chained or rod shaped. 

Unlike a eukaryotic cell, a prokaryotic cell lacks- 

• a nucleus and membrane bound organelles.
• ribosomes and energy propelled flagella. 
• DNA and cytoplasm.
• a cell wall and cell membrane.

A prokaryotic cell is unlike a eukaryotic cell in that-

• a prokaryotic cell contains fewer genes than a eukaryotic cell. 
• a prokaryotic cell contains more space than a eukaryotic cell. 
• a prokaryotic cell contains a single membrane-bound organelle, and a eukaryotic cell contains multiple membrane-bound organelles. 
• a prokaryotic cell contains a nucleus, and a eukaryotic cell does not contain a nucleus.
