Prokaryotic cells have a true nucleus with a nuclear membrane.
False
Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound
organelles
.
True
Examples of organisms with prokaryotic cells include
bacteria
The
nucleus
controls cell growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
True
The
cytoplasm
facilitates transport and
metabolic
activities
Where is genetic material located in a prokaryotic cell?
Nucleoid region
The plasma membrane regulates the passage of substances in and out of the
cell
Plant cells have a cell wall made of
cellulose
, while animal cells do not.
True
Centrioles are present in animal cells but absent in plant
cells
Plant cells have a cell wall made of
cellulose
Animal cells have a large, central vacuole like plant cells.
False
What do centrioles organize during cell division in animal cells?
Microtubules
The presence of a cell wall and chloroplasts allows plant cells to perform photosynthesis, a process absent in animal cells.
True
Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have organelles like mitochondria and
chloroplasts
What is the plasma membrane composed of in eukaryotic cells?
Phospholipid bilayer
Order the organelles based on their role in protein synthesis and transport:
1️⃣ Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
2️⃣ Golgi Apparatus
Both plant and animal cells are
eukaryotic
Chloroplasts in plant cells contain
chlorophyll
What are the two main types of cells found in living organisms?
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic
In prokaryotic cells, genetic material is located in the
nucleoid
What is the typical size range of prokaryotic cells?
1-10 μm
Arrange the components of a eukaryotic cell based on their function:
1️⃣ Plasma membrane regulates substance entry and exit
2️⃣ Cytoplasm supports cell activities
3️⃣ Nucleus controls cell functions
What is the plasma membrane made of in eukaryotic cells?
Phospholipid bilayer
Match the component of a eukaryotic cell with its function:
Plasma membrane ↔️ Regulates substance passage
Cytoplasm ↔️ Supports cell activities
Nucleus ↔️ Controls cell functions
Eukaryotic cells are typically larger than prokaryotic cells.
True
Match the organelle with its structure and function:
Mitochondria ↔️ Double membrane with cristae, ATP production
Endoplasmic Reticulum ↔️ Network of interconnected sacs, protein synthesis
Golgi Apparatus ↔️ Stacks of flattened sacs, molecule packaging
What is the function of chloroplasts in plant cells?
Photosynthesis
Arrange the organelles in the order they contribute to protein synthesis in a eukaryotic cell:
1️⃣ Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) synthesizes proteins
2️⃣ Golgi Apparatus processes and packages proteins
3️⃣ Proteins are transported to their final destination
What is the primary function of chloroplasts in plant cells?
Photosynthesis
Mitochondria are the site of cellular respiration and ATP
production
Where is the genetic material located in prokaryotic cells?
Nucleoid region
Prokaryotic cells are structurally simpler compared to eukaryotic cells.
True
The cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells is a gel-like substance that facilitates transport and metabolic
activities
What is the function of the cristae in mitochondria?
Increase surface area
Plant cells have a cell wall made of
cellulose
.
True
Animal cells have a large central vacuole.
False
The
nucleus
controls cell functions.
True
Match the structural features with their presence in plant or animal cells:
Cell Wall ↔️ Plant Cells
Centrioles ↔️ Animal Cells
Plant cells have a large, central
vacuole
What is the primary function of mitochondria?
Cellular respiration
