Cell Types & Structures

What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus and Eukaryotic cells do not
• Prokaryotic cells are unicellular and Eukaryotic cells are multicellular.
• Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, Eukaryotic cells do have a nucleus.
• Prokaryotic cells are plant cells and Eukaryotic cells are animal cells.

Identify which of these is NOT a major difference between plant and animal cells.

• Only plant cells have a cell wall.
• Only animal cells have mitochondria.
• Animal cells do NOT contain chloroplasts.
• Plant cells have a large central vacuole.

What is the cell organelle that stores water, food and waste called?

• The cytoplasm
• The lysosomes
• The vacuole
• The mitochondria

The mitochondria

• Controls what enters and leaves the cell
• Performs photosynthesis to make food for the cell.
• Contains the chromosomes and is known as the "brain" of the cell.
• Breaks down food to produce energy for the cell.
