Which is a characteristic of prokaryotic cells?
Prokaryotic cells contain DNA enclosed within a nuclear membrane.
Prokaryotic cells are complex cells containing membrane-bound organelles.
Prokaryotic cells are simple cells containing no membrane-bound organelles.
Prokaryotic cells perform photosynthesis within their chloroplasts.
This is a diagram of a cell.
How would this cell be classified?
as a prokaryotic plant cell
as a eukaryotic plant cell
as a prokaryotic animal cell
as a eukaryotic animal cell
A student looks at two slides through a microscope. The student determines that Slide X is a eukaryotic cell, and Slide Y is a prokaryotic cell. Which structure would help the student make this conclusion?
presence or absence of a cell membrane
presence or absence of a ribosome
presence or absence of cytoplasm
presence or absence of a nucleus
How does the nuclear DNA in eukaryotic cells compare to the DNA in prokaryotic cells?
Both cells contain genetic material within the nucleus.
Both cells contain some genetic material inside a mitochondrion.
DNA in prokaryotic cells has a circular shape, unlike eukaryotic cells.
DNA is composed of amino acids in prokaryotic cells, unlike eukaryotic cells.
This illustration shows two different types of cells.
Which of these is a valid comparison of the two cells pictured?
Both cells are equal in complexity.
Both cells contain genetic information.
Both cells transform energy using mitochondria.
Both cells have a rigid, outer barrier for protection.
Which best describes what type of cell(s) contain a plasma membrane?
eukaryotic cells
prokaryotic cells
both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells
all eukaryotic cells and some prokaryotic cells
Which explains why a eukaryotic cell is more complex than a prokaryotic cell?
A eukaryotic cell lacks vacuoles and mitochondria, while the nuclear body is bound by a nuclear membrane.
A eukaryotic cell contains vacuoles and mitochondria, and the nuclear body is bound by a nuclear membrane.
A eukaryotic cell contains one circular chromosome, and the nuclear body is not membrane-bound.
A eukaryotic cell contains pairs of chromosomes, while the nuclear body is not membrane-bound.
How are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells similar?
Both contain a nucleus.
Both contain ribosomes.
Both contain membrane-bound organelles.
Both are types of cells found in plants.
Which would determine if a cell was a bacterial cell or a plant cell?
the presence or absence of a cell wall
the presence or absence of ribosomes
the presence or absence of mitochrondria
the presence or absence of genetic information
Which explains why eukaryotic cells can be larger than prokaryotic cells?
because prokaryotic cells have a short life span
because prokaryotic cells lack genetic information
because eukaryotic cells are found in all living things
because eukaryotic cells contain organelles with unique functions
