12: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

What did the narrator initially think caused the ringworm?

• An allergic reaction

• A bacterial infection

• A ring-shaped worm

• A viral infection

Why was the narrator given an antifungal cream instead of antibiotics?

• Because the infection was viral

• Because the narrator was allergic to antibiotics

• Because the infection was minor

• Because antibiotics are ineffective against fungi

What do antibiotics specifically target?

• Bacteria

• Parasites

• Fungi

• Viruses

Which of the following is NOT a domain of life?

• Bacteria

• Prokarya

• Archaea

• Eukarya

Which domain do fungi belong to?

• Bacteria

• Prokarya

• Archaea

• Eukarya

What is a key feature that distinguishes prokaryotic cells from eukaryotic cells?

• Presence of DNA

• Presence of ribosomes

• Lack of a nucleus

• Presence of a cell membrane

Which type of cell is generally more complex?

• Prokaryotic cells

• Eukaryotic cells

• Both are equally complex

• Neither, complexity is not a factor

What is the function of ribosomes in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• To store genetic material

• To produce energy

• To make proteins

• To control cell division

Which type of cell is likely to have chloroplasts?

• Bacterial cells

• Animal cells

• Fungal cells

• Plant cells

Why is it important to understand the characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• To know how to treat all infections with antibiotics

• To better understand the diversity of living things

• To identify non-living things

• To classify viruses
