  • The cell wall of gram-negative bacteria contains which of the following: peptidoglycan, lipopolysaccharides, or cellulose?

    The cell wall of gram-negative bacteria contains lipopolysaccharides and a thin layer of peptidoglycan.
  • Which of the following structures is found in animal cells but not plant cells: chloroplasts, cell wall, or centrioles?

    Centrioles are found in animal cells but not in plant cells.
  • Which of the following is located outside of the nucleus: ribosomes, DNA, or nucleolus?

    Ribosomes are located outside of the nucleus.
  • In animal cells, what is the primary function of mitochondria?

  • What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells regarding their DNA structure?

    Prokaryotic cells have circular DNA, while eukaryotic cells have linear DNA.
  • How do prokaryotic cells divide?
