Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Cells Quiz

What is the main difference in cell structure between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

• Ribosomes and endoplasmic reticulum

• Chloroplasts and mitochondria

• Cell wall and cytoplasm

How does the genetic material differ in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Prokaryotic cells have DNA, while eukaryotic cells have RNA

• Prokaryotic cells have multiple nuclei, while eukaryotic cells have a single nucleus

• The genetic material in prokaryotic cells is larger than in eukaryotic cells

• The genetic material in prokaryotic cells is not enclosed within a nucleus, while in eukaryotic cells it is enclosed within a nucleus.

Describe the structure of the cell membrane in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

• The cell membrane in prokaryotic cells is composed of a double layer of phospholipids, while in eukaryotic cells it is composed of a single layer of phospholipids with embedded proteins.
