  • What are the two types of cells discussed in the video?
    Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells
  • What is a key characteristic of eukaryotic cells?
    Their genetic material is enclosed in a nucleus
  • What are some components of eukaryotic cells?
    Cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm
  • Can eukaryotes be unicellular or multicellular?
    Yes, they can be both
  • What are examples of eukaryotic organisms?
    Animals and plants
  • What is a key characteristic of prokaryotic cells?
    Their genetic material is not enclosed in a nucleus
  • What is the structure of genetic material in prokaryotic cells?
    It is in a loop or small rings of DNA
  • Where is the genetic material located in prokaryotic cells?
    It is free-floating in the cell
  • What components do prokaryotic cells have?
    Cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm
  • Do prokaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles?
    No, they do not

    Bacteria
  • What does it mean that prokaryotes are unicellular organisms?
    They are single-celled organisms
  • What are the main differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?
    • Eukaryotic cells are larger and complex
    • Prokaryotic cells are smaller and simple
    • Eukaryotic genetic material is in a nucleus
    • Prokaryotic genetic material is free-floating
    • Eukaryotes can be unicellular or multicellular
