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.

The main function of chloroplasts is:

• To control what enters and leaves the cell.

• To break down food to release energy for the cell.

• To control all activities of the cell.

• To convert the the sun's energy into food.

The cytoplasm

• Is the jelly-like fluid that holds other organelles in place.

• Breaks down food to produce energy for the cell.

• Is known as the "brain" of the cell.

• Is where photosynthesis takes place.
