Which cell part is present in eukaryotic cells, but not in prokaryotic cells?

• cell membrane
• cell wall
• cytoplasm
• nucleus

Which of these is the key idea of the endosymbiont theory?

• Eukaryotes evolved from early prokaryotic cell that developed internal cell membranes.
• Prokaryotic cells evolved from early eukaryotes that were enclosed by cell walls.
• Early prokaryotic cells evolved from chloroplasts.
• Early prokaryotic cells evolved from chemicals that became joined together using the heat given off by deep ocean vents.

Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes which are readily observable through the light microscope include:
 
I.  prokaryotes are much smaller than eukaryotes
II.  ribosomes are smaller in prokaryotes
III.  prokaryotes lack nuclei

• I only
• II only
• I and II only
• I and III only

What type of cell is shown?

• Eukaryotic because it has a nucleus
• Eukaryotic because it lacks a nucleus
• Prokaryotic because it has a nucleus
• Prokaryotic because it lacks a nucleus

_____ cells have a membrane bound organelles and a nucleus Ex. ________

• Eukaryotic, bacteria
• Eukaryotic, nuclei
• Eukaryotic, fungi
• Prokaryotic, pseudopods
