Cell Biology Quiz

What is the function of a flagellum in prokaryotic cells?

• To allow movement.

• To provide structural support.

• To store genetic material.

• To facilitate nutrient absorption.

What are membrane-bound organelles?

• Organelles that are enclosed by membranes, such as the nucleus and mitochondria.

• Organelles that are free-floating in the cytoplasm.

• Organelles that are involved in protein synthesis only.

• Organelles that are found only in plant cells.

What is a defining feature of prokaryotic cells?

• They have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

• They do not have a nucleus and no membrane-bound organelles.

• They are larger than eukaryotic cells.

• They reproduce sexually.

What is the difference between unicellular and multicellular organisms?

• Unicellular organisms consist of a single cell, while multicellular organisms are made up of multiple cells.

• Unicellular organisms are larger than multicellular organisms.

• Multicellular organisms can only be found in plants, while unicellular organisms are found in animals.

• Unicellular organisms reproduce sexually, while multicellular organisms reproduce asexually.

What is the primary difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells lack them.

• Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have them.

• Prokaryotic cells are larger than eukaryotic cells.

• Eukaryotic cells reproduce asexually, while prokaryotic cells reproduce sexually.

What is cytoplasm?

• A solid structure that provides support to the cell.

• A jelly-like substance within a cell that contains organelles.

• The outer membrane of the cell that protects it from the environment.

• A type of organelle responsible for energy production.

What type of cell is characterized by the absence of a nucleus?

• Eukaryote

• Prokaryote

• Stem Cell

• Somatic Cell

What is the significance of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells?

• It provides energy to the cell.

• It houses the cell's genetic material and controls cellular activities.

• It is responsible for protein synthesis.

• It helps in the movement of the cell.

What is the role of ribosomes in a cell?

• Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.

• Ribosomes are involved in DNA replication.

• Ribosomes help in cell division.

• Ribosomes store genetic information.

Can prokaryotic cells be multicellular?

• Yes, prokaryotic cells can be multicellular.

• No, prokaryotic cells are always unicellular.

• Prokaryotic cells can be multicellular under certain conditions.

• Some prokaryotic cells can form multicellular structures.
