Contains DNA

• eukaryotic cell

• prokaryotic cell

• BOTH

Answer explanation

The DNA in prokaryotes is contained in a central area of the cell called the nucleoid, which is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane.

Bacteria cells are...

• eukaryotes.

• prokaryotes.

• BOTH

Answer explanation

Bacteria are alive and made up of only one cell.

Four students examined the cells and made the following observations: 
Student 1: Cell 1 is a plant cell because it has a cell wall
Student 2: Cell 2 is an animal cell because it has a nucleus
Student 3: Cell 1 is a plant cell because it has chloroplasts
Student 4: Cell 2 is an animal cell because it has a cell membrane
Who is correct?

• Student 1 and Student 2
• Student 2 and Student 3
• Student 1 and Student 3
• Student 2 and Student 4
