  • Which structure is unique to eukaryotic cells? DNA, cell membrane, ribosomes, nucleus
    Nucleus is unique to eukaryotic cells.
  • Which structure is common to plant and animal cells?
    Both plant and animal cells have a cell membrane, nucleus, and various organelles.
  • What is the basic unit of life?
    The cell is the basic unit of life.
  • What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
    Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have both.
  • What are the three parts of the cell theory?
    1. All living organisms are composed of cells. 2. The cell is the basic unit of life. 3. All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
  • How are plant and animal cells different?
    Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while animal cells do not.
  • What clue can tell you if a cell is prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
    Presence of a nucleus indicates a eukaryotic cell; absence indicates a prokaryotic cell.
  • What is a difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
    Prokaryotic cells have circular DNA, while eukaryotic cells have linear DNA.
  • Which organisms are eukaryotes? Animals, plants, archaea, fungi
    Animals, plants, and fungi are eukaryotes.
  • How are plant and animal cells similar?
    Both have a nucleus, cell membrane, and various organelles.
  • Which organelle is present in a prokaryotic cell?
    Ribosomes are present in prokaryotic cells.
  • Which cellular structure do prokaryotic cells lack?
    Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus.
  • Which characteristic of prokaryotic organisms makes them different from eukaryotes?
    Prokaryotic organisms lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
  • Which of the cells shown in the figure are eukaryotic cells?
    Eukaryotic cells are those with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
  • What is the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?
    Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles; prokaryotic cells do not.
  • Which organism is a prokaryote?
    Bacteria are prokaryotes.
  • Which structure is present in bacteria but not in a virus?
