    1. Lack of nucleus 2. Circular DNA 3. Smaller size
  • Which of these best explains the difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes?
    Eukaryotes have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotes do not.
  • Which is part of the cell theory?
    All living organisms are composed of cells.
  • What are the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
    Prokaryotes lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotes have both.

    Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have both.
  • How do you think plant cells differ from animal cells?
    Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while animal cells do not.
  • Which type of cell does not contain organelles?
    Prokaryotic cells do not contain membrane-bound organelles.
  • What are the 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.
  • What are the three principles 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.
  • In a eukaryotic cell, where is the DNA located?
    In a eukaryotic cell, DNA is located inside the nucleus.
  • What structure do prokaryotes not have?
    Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus.
  • Which groups of organisms belong in the domain Eukarya?
    Animals, plants, fungi, and protists belong in the domain Eukarya.
  • What structures are found in eukaryotic cells but not in prokaryotic cells?
    Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
  • What feature is unique to bacterial cells compared to eukaryotic cells?
    Bacterial cells have circular DNA.
  • What is the difference between cilia and flagella?
    Cilia are short and numerous, while flagella are longer and fewer.
  • What structures do all cells have?
    All cells have a cell membrane and ribosomes.
  • What type of cell is a bacterial cell?
    A bacterial cell is a prokaryotic cell.
  • What is the difference between a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic cell?
    Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have both.
  • Which of these sub-cellular structures is found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes?
    Ribosomes are found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
  • Which of these is a defining characteristic in a eukaryotic cell?
    Presence of a nucleus is a defining characteristic in a eukaryotic cell.
  • Which material would be used in a model of a eukaryotic cell but not a prokaryotic cell?
    A nucleus would be used in a model of a eukaryotic cell but not a prokaryotic cell.
  • What is the main difference between a prokaryote and a eukaryote?
    Prokaryotes lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotes have both.
  • Which organism is prokaryotic?
    Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms.
  • What are the three principles 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.

    The cell is the smallest unit that can carry out all the functions of life.
  • Which structure would not be found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
    A nucleus would not be found in prokaryotic cells.
  • Which organelle is present in prokaryotic cells?
    Ribosomes are present in prokaryotic cells.

    All have a cell membrane and ribosomes.
  • Prokaryotic cells are smaller than eukaryotic cells. What is a plausible explanation?
    Prokaryotic cells are less complex and lack membrane-bound organelles, making them smaller.
