Which part of the cell contains genetic material?
Mitochondria
Nucleus (in eukaryotic cells) or nucleoid (in prokaryotic cells)
Ribosomes
Endoplasmic reticulum
What is the function of the ribosome?
To break down waste materials.
The function of the ribosome is to synthesize proteins.
To store genetic information.
To transport nutrients within the cell.
Describe the role of the endoplasmic reticulum.
The endoplasmic reticulum generates ATP for energy production.
The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for DNA replication.
The endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes, modifies, and transports proteins and lipids.
The endoplasmic reticulum detoxifies harmful substances in the cell.
What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Prokaryotic cells can be multicellular; eukaryotic cells are unicellular.
Eukaryotic cells are always smaller than prokaryotic cells.
Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles; eukaryotic cells do.
Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus; eukaryotic cells do not.
Which organelle is known as the 'powerhouse of the cell'?
Mitochondria
Ribosome
Nucleus
Chloroplast
What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?
The Golgi apparatus generates ATP for energy production.
The Golgi apparatus is responsible for DNA replication.
The Golgi apparatus functions to modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids.
The Golgi apparatus detoxifies harmful substances in the cell.
How do plant cells differ from animal cells?
Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole, while animal cells do not.
Plant cells have a nucleus, while animal cells do not.
Animal cells contain chloroplasts, while plant cells do not.
Plant cells are smaller than animal cells.
