Eukaryotes, Prokaryotes, Organelles

A single-celled organism can be classified as a prokaryote based on the absence of-

• A cell membrane

• ribosomes

• chromosomes

• a nucleus

Both EUglena and cyanoBACTERIA are unicellular organisms found in pond water. What distinguishes one from the other?

• The ability to maintain homeostasis

• Virus

• Eukaryote

• Prokaryote

• Bacteria

The Endosymbiotic theory talks about:

• A prokaryote engulfing another eukaryote and functioning properly

• A mitochondria-like prokaryote engulfing a chloroplast-like prokaryote and functioning together

• A prokaryote digesting another prokaryote and using its DNA

• A prokaryote engulfing another prokaryote and functioning properly

Evidence for the Endosymbiotic Theory is that chloroplasts mitochondria have the same size and structure as bacteria.

• True

• False

• Photosynthesis

• Production of proteins

The cell membrane is said to be semi-permeable because:

• It can duplicate its genetic information

• It allows certain things in and out of the cell

• It provides protection and structure to the cell

• It can replicate its chromosomes
