What is the major difference between bacterial chromosomes and eukaryotic chromosomes?
Bacterial chromosomes are circular, while eukaryotic chromosomes are linear. Which of these is the best model of a prokaryotic cell?
A bacterial cell is the best model of a prokaryotic cell. Which type of cell does not contain a nucleus?
Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus. How are animal cells and plant cells different?
Animal cells lack a cell wall and chloroplasts, which plant cells have. Which two components are most likely found in both viruses and prokaryotic cells?
Both have genetic material and a protein coat. Where is a bacterial cell's DNA found?
A bacterial cell's DNA is found in the nucleoid region. What are the three principles of 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. Which characteristic is shared by all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms?

Ribosomes are present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. What is the difference between a prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosome?
Prokaryotic ribosomes are 70S, while eukaryotic ribosomes are 80S. Which is true regarding all bacterial cells?
All bacterial cells are prokaryotic and lack a nucleus. What is the difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?
Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have both. Which statement applies to eukaryotic cells but not to prokaryotic cells?
Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. What is the main function of the cell wall in a plant cell?
The cell wall provides structural support and protection. In eukaryotes, where is the DNA located?
In eukaryotes, DNA is located inside the nucleus. Which of the following structures are typically present in both plant and animal cells?

Domain Eukarya consists of organisms with true nuclei. Which statement below is correct when comparing plant and animal cells?
Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while animal cells do not. Why are cells small?
Cells are small to maintain a favorable surface area to volume ratio for efficient nutrient exchange. Which of the following is a major difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
