Food webs & Prokaryotes

Scientist observe the traits of cells on four microscope slides and record their observations in a table. Based on the scientists' observations, identify the eukaryotic cell slides/

A prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell are shown.

Which characteristics best distinguishes these cells are either prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

• The organization of the genetic material

• The location of the cytoplasm

• The role of the cell membrane

• The function of the flagella

Students use a microscope to look for structures present in four different cells. The students placed an X for each structure that was viewed for each cell on the table shown. Which cell in the table is a prokaryotic cell? (a)  

• Cell W
• Cell X
• Cell Y
• Cell Z

The picture shows a student using a microscope to study a prepared slide of a single-celled organism.

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 photosynthetic unicellular organisms found in pond water. The feature that distinguishes euglena from cyanobacteria is the —

• ability to maintain homeostasis

• presence of ribosomes

• ability to reproduce

• presence of a nuclear membrane

Students use a microscope to look for structures present in four different cells. The students placed an X for each structure that was viewed for each cell on the table shown. Which cell that was viewed is most likely a prokaryote?

• F. Cell W

• G. Cell X

• H. Cell Y

• J. Cell Z

Some students used information they gathered from lab investigations to prepare a table. They entered the table in their lab notebooks.

Which of these correctly identifies the two cells described in the table?

• Cell 1 is eukaryotic, and Cell 2 is prokaryotic.

• Cell 1 is prokaryotic, and Cell 2 is eukaryotic.

• Both Cell 1 and Cell 2 are eukaryotic.

• Both Cell 1 and Cell 2 are prokaryotic.

Which is true of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Prokaryotic cells are larger than eukaryotic cells.
• Eukaryotic cells do not have nuclei, and prokaryotic cells do have nuclei.
• Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles, and eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles.
• Eukaryotic cells are simpler than prokaryotic cells.
