Eukaryotes+Prokaryotes

• What are the two main types of cells discussed in the video?

  Eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells
• What is a key feature of both animal and plant cells?

  They both have a nucleus
• What does the nucleus contain in eukaryotic cells?

  The genetic material, or DNA
• How is the genetic material organized in eukaryotic cells?

  It is enclosed in a nucleus
• What are the two additional features of animal and plant cells besides the nucleus?

  The cell membrane and cytoplasm
• What is the function of the cell membrane?

  It encloses the cell and regulates what enters and exits
• What is a defining characteristic of prokaryotic cells?

  The genetic material is not enclosed in a nucleus
• How do prokaryotic cells compare in size to eukaryotic cells?

  Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells
• What is the structure of the genetic material in prokaryotic cells?

  It consists of a single loop of DNA
• What are plasmids in prokaryotic cells?

  Small rings of DNA
• What additional structures do prokaryotic cells have besides the cell membrane?

  A cell wall and cytoplasm
• What type of cell wall do prokaryotic cells have?

  A bacterial cell wall
• What are the main differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?

  • Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus; prokaryotic cells do not.
  • Eukaryotic cells are larger; prokaryotic cells are smaller.
  • Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles; prokaryotic cells do not.
• What are the similarities between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?

  • Both have a cell membrane.
  • Both contain cytoplasm.
  • Both have genetic material (DNA).
• What is the significance of learning the definitions of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?

  It helps in understanding the fundamental differences between cell types
• How do the functions of the cell membrane and cytoplasm differ in eukaryotic cells?

  The cell membrane regulates entry and exit, while the cytoplasm contains organelles and supports cellular processes
