Quiz - Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

A cell can be classified as a prokaryote based on the absence of –

• Cell wall
• Nucleus
• Mitochondria
• Ribosomes

Which organelle has tubed membranes that are in contact with the nucleus and have small, round structures on the outside of the membranes?

• Mitochondria
• Lysosome
• Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Golgi Apparatus

Which organelle is responsible for receiving, processing, and packaging newly synthesized proteins and lipids?

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

• Golgi apparatus

• Ribosomes

Loriciferans are microscopic multicellular animals that live in various marine sediments. Scientists have discovered genera of Loriciferans in a deep-sea habitat that lacks oxygen. Before this discovery, some prokaryotes and some unicellular eukaryotes were known to inhabit anaerobic environments. Among the newly discovered Loriciferans is Spinoloricus sp. Nov., which is pictured below.

Scientists determined that organisms of the genus Spinoloricus were eukaryotes and not prokaryotes because Spinoloricus cells have —

• a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles
• a cell wall
• no nucleus
• a single, circular chromosome
