Eukaryotic & Prokaryotic Cells Quiz

Which of the following organelles are found in plant cells but not in animal cells?

• Mitochondria, Ribosomes, Cell membrane

• Cell wall, Chloroplasts, Large permanent vacuole

• Nucleus, Cytoplasm, Golgi body

• Ribosomes, Smooth ER, Lysosomes

The cell wall of a typical bacterium is made of which substance?

• Cellulose

• Chitin

• Peptidoglycan

• Lignin

What is the function of plasmodesmata in plant cells?

• To act as the site of photosynthesis.

• To provide structural support to the cell wall.

• To connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells for communication.

• To control the turgor pressure of the cell.

Which of the following is a key feature of a prokaryotic cell?

• A membrane-bound nucleus containing linear DNA.

• The presence of 80S ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

• The absence of membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria.

• A cell wall made of cellulose.

Both chloroplasts and prokaryotic cells contain which of the following?

• A nucleus and 80S ribosomes.

• A large permanent vacuole.

• 70S ribosomes and circular DNA.

• A cell wall made of peptidoglycan.

The membrane surrounding the large permanent vacuole in a plant cell is called the:

• Tonoplast

• Plasmodesma

• Granum

• Stroma

What is the typical size range for a prokaryotic cell like a bacterium?

• 30–60 µm

• 10–20 µm

• 1–5 µm

• 50–100 nm

Which of the following correctly describes the genetic material in a typical bacterium?

• Linear DNA contained within a nuclear envelope.

• Circular DNA located in the cytoplasm and smaller plasmids.

• Linear DNA attached to the cell surface membrane.

• Circular DNA contained within a mitochondrion.

A student creates a Venn diagram to compare plant and animal cells. In which section should they place 'centrioles'?

• In the 'Plant Only' section.

• In the 'Animal Only' section.

• In the overlapping 'Both' section.

• Outside the diagram as they are not in either.

A key difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes is:

• Prokaryotic ribosomes are larger (80S).

• Eukaryotic ribosomes are smaller (70S).

• Prokaryotic ribosomes are smaller (70S).

• Eukaryotic ribosomes are only found on the RER.
