• Eukaryotes have DNA and Prokaryotes don't

• Eukaryotes have a nucleus and Prokaryotes don't

• Eukaryotes have a cell membrane and Prokaryotes don't

• Eukaryotes have a membrane-bound organelles and Prokaryotes don't

Answer explanation

​ (a)   are simple cells that can only from ​unicellular organisms. They include ​ (b)   and archaea. ​ (c)   are complex cells that can form unicellular or multicellular ​organisms. They include plants, fungi, ​ (d)   , and protists.

• Prokaryotes

• Eukaryotes

• bacteria

• plants

• animals

Answer explanation

The correct choices are Prokaryotes, Eukaryotes, bacteria, and animals. Prokaryotes are simple cells found in unicellular organisms, while Eukaryotes are complex cells found in both unicellular and multicellular organisms.

Match the following organelles to their functions.

• mitochondria

• make protein for the cell

• nucleus

• controls what goes in/out of the cell, surrounds the cell

• cell membrane

• control center of the cell, contains DNA

• cytoplasm

• powerhouse of the cell, converts food energy to cellular energy

• ribosomes

• jelly-fluid that fills up the cell and surrounds the organelles

Which of the following is NOT part of the modern cell theory?

• The cell is the smallest living unit in all organisms.

• All living things are made of one or more cells.

• All cells come from other pre-existing cells.

• All cells contain a nucleus with DNA.

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'All cells contain a nucleus with DNA.' This statement is NOT part of the modern cell theory, as not all cells have a nucleus with DNA (e.g., prokaryotic cells).

What type of cells are humans made of?

• eukaryotic

• prokaryotic

• unicellular

• archaea

• protists

Answer explanation

Humans are made of eukaryotic cells, which are characterized by having a nucleus enclosed within a membrane.

The Cell Theory:

1. 1. All living organisms are composed of one or more ​ (a)   . (Unicellular or Multicellular)

2. 2. All cells arise from ​ (b)   cells. (Not from Spontaneous Generation)

3. 3. Cells are the structural and functional unit of ​ (c)   . (Nothing living smaller than a Cell)

• cells

• preexisting

• life

Answer explanation

The correct answers are 'cells', 'preexisting', and 'life' as per the Cell Theory, which states that all living organisms are composed of cells, cells arise from preexisting cells, and cells are the structural and functional unit of life.
