Unlike prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells have their genetic material centrally located in a -
chloroplast
vacuole
lysosome
nucleus
In order to classify a cell as prokaryotic or eukaryotic, it must be determined if the cell-
grows larger throughout its life
can move from place to place
is able to make copies of itself
has its genetic material i a nucleus
When observing a piece of onion skin under magnification, a student records the following entry in his Science Journal. Which observation would have been the same for any type of living organism that the student observed?
made of at least one cell
nucleus in the middle
walls present between
looks practically empty
An organelle that eukaryotes have, but prokaryotes do not have, is a -
cell membrane
nucleus
cytoplasm
ribosome
Two cells are represented by the following diagram. Which of the following statements is an accurate conclusion that can be drawn about these two cells?
Cell 1 is a prokaryotic cell due to the presence of ribosomes.
Cell 2 is a prokaryotic cell due to the presence of cytoplasm.
Cell 1 is an eukaryotic cell due to the presence of a flagellum.
Cell 2 is an eukaryotic cell due to the presence of a nucleus.
When comparing a prokaryotic cell to an eukaryotic cell, an important difference is that the prokaryotic cell-
is simple, performing limited functions.
is relatively small in size and unorganized.
has its genetic information stored in a nucleus.
has no structures that allow it to store food.
Which of the following is a true statement regarding living organisms? All living things-
require oxygen to breathe
are capable of intelligent thought
are made up of one or more cells
have a lifespan of at least one week

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kingdom | Cells | Energy | Reproduction
Fungi | Many | Heterotrophic | Sexual and Asexual
Plants | ? | ? | ?
Many, heterotrophic, asexual
many, autotrophic, sexual and asexual
many, heterotrophic, sexual and asexual
many, heterotrophic, sexual
The broadest taxonomic group for classifying living organisms is the-
Domain
Kingdom
Family
Genus
Which characteristic is always true for each and every member of the Animal Kingdom?
it is heterotrophic
is unicellular
does not have a nucleus
reproduces asexually
Which characteritic distinguishes plants from fungi? All members of the Kingdom Plantae-
produce offspring through sexual reproduction
make their own food from sunlight
are made of more than one cell
belong in the domain prokaryotes
Which Kingdom includes only organisms that are heterotrophic and all of which reproduce sexually?
Fungi
Plantae
Protista
Animalia
Which of the following statements is always correct regarding organisms in the Kingdom Plantae (Plants)?
they produce their own food
they produce sexually
they are single-celled organisms
they do not contain a nucleus
If one member of the Kingdom of Fungi were to be compared to one member of the Kingdom Animalia, it is possible that the two will be different in terms of-
whether or not they have cells with a nucleus
how they reproduce; sexually or asexually
whether or not they can make their own food
the domain to which they belong
All members of the Kingdom Protista share which of the following characteristics? They all-
reproduce sexually
produce their own food
are made of more than one cell
have an enclosed nucleus
Which characteristic is always true for all members of the plant Kingdom?
is autotrophic
is unicellular
does not have a nucleus
reproduces asexually
