How are eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells different?

Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells.

Eukaryotic cells are less complex than prokaryotic cells.

Prokaryotic cells are larger than eukaryotic cells.

Prokaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles and eukaryotic cells do not contain membrane-bound organelles.

digest food, worn-out organelles or pathogens

Students were asked to draw a model of a mitochondrion. The diagrams below represent two students’ drawings. Which model best represents a mitochondrion and why?

Structure 2 has more surface area, which produces more energy.

Structure 1 has more surface area, which produces more proteins.

Structure 1 has more surface area, which produces more energy.

Structure 2 has more surface area, which produces more proteins.

If the ribosomes of a cell were destroyed, what effect would this most likely have on the cell?

The cell would be unable to synthesize proteins.

Development of abnormal hereditary features would occur in the cell.

Increased protein absorption would occur through the cell membrane.

It would stimulate mitotic cell division.

What can be used to distinguish between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?

Only eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles.

Only eukaryotic cells come from preexisting cells.

Only prokaryotic cells are the smallest unit of living organisms.

Only prokaryotic cells contain ribosomes.

Among birds, some skin cells grow feathers when they mature, while other skin cells grow scales at maturity. Which statement best explains this difference?

While all cells have the same DNA, specialized cells express certain traits that produce feathers or scales.

Skin cells exposed to colder environments grow feathers, while skin cells exposed to wet environments grow scales.

Skin cells that have feathers are diploid, while skin cells that make scales are haploid.

Some skin cells have different DNA to build structures like feathers and scales.

What determines the function of a specialized cell?

the number of ribosomes in the cell

the number of chromosomes in the cell

This diagram shows a variety of cells from the same organism. How can cells from the same organism have such different shapes and functions?

During differentiation, different parts of the DNA in each type of cell are activated, resulting in the different structure and function of the cells.

As each cell differentiates, the DNA changes so that each type of cell has different DNA once it reaches maturity.

Mutations in the cells’ nuclei lead to new combinations of DNA, resulting in different shapes and functions in the different types of cells.

During differentiation, different types of cells produce proteins which destroy the nonactive DNA, leading to cell specialization.

What will most likely be the result if all of the mitochondria are removed from a plant cell?

It will be unable to carry out cellular respiration.

It will be unable to carry out respiration.

It will break down the ribosomes in the cell.

It will be unable to photosynthesize.
