1.1.1 Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Cells

• What is the defining feature of eukaryotic cells that prokaryotic cells lack?

  True nucleus
• Prokaryotic cells have a true, membrane-bound nucleus.

  False
• Which type of cells lacks membrane-bound organelles?

  Prokaryotic cells
• Plant cells are examples of eukaryotic cells.


  True
• Eukaryotic cells are generally larger in size, ranging from 10-100 μm.
• Where is the genetic material located in prokaryotic cells?

  In the cytoplasm
• Eukaryotic cells are generally smaller than prokaryotic cells.

  False
• Prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria or chloroplasts
• What type of cell contains a true, membrane-bound nucleus?

  Eukaryotic cell
• Prokaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles.

  False
• Chloroplasts are found in plant cells and are the site of photosynthesis
• Where is the genetic material located in prokaryotic cells?

  Cytoplasm
• Prokaryotic cell walls are made of peptidoglycan.


  True
• Prokaryotic DNA is circular, while eukaryotic DNA is linear
• Arrange the following cell sizes from smallest to largest:

  1️⃣ Prokaryotic cells (1-10 μm)

  2️⃣ Eukaryotic cells (10-100 μm)
• Eukaryotic cells provide compartmentalization for different cellular processes
• Eukaryotic cells are generally smaller than prokaryotic cells.

  False
• Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotic cells that produce energy
• Where is the genetic material located in prokaryotic cells?

  In the cytoplasm
• Prokaryotic cells have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan.


  True
• The typical size of prokaryotic cells ranges from 1 to 10 μm.
• Eukaryotic organisms include animals, plants, fungi, and protists.


  True
• Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts
• Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller in size, ranging from 1-10 μm.
• What is the primary difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell structure?

  Presence of a nucleus
• Order the key differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells based on complexity:

  1️⃣ True nucleus vs. no true nucleus

  2️⃣ Membrane-bound organelles vs. no membrane-bound organelles

  3️⃣ Larger cell size vs. smaller cell size
• Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles
• What is the function of mitochondria in eukaryotic cells?

  Produce energy
• Match the cell feature with the correct cell type:

  True nucleus ↔️ Eukaryotic cells

  Lack of organelles ↔️ Prokaryotic cells
• What type of nucleus do eukaryotic cells have?

  True, membrane-bound nucleus
• Which organelle produces energy in eukaryotic cells?

  Mitochondria
• Match the cell type with its nucleus and organelle characteristics:

  Eukaryotic cells ↔️ True nucleus, membrane-bound organelles

  Prokaryotic cells ↔️ No true nucleus, lacks organelles
• The genetic material in prokaryotic cells is dispersed in the cytoplasm
• What is the cell wall of plant cells made of?

  Cellulose
• Plasmids are small DNA fragments found in prokaryotic cells.

  True
• Which organisms are examples of prokaryotic cells?

  Bacteria and archaea
• What type of genetic material do prokaryotic cells have?

  Genetic material in cytoplasm
• What is a true nucleus, and which type of cell has it?

  A membrane-bound nucleus in eukaryotic cells
• Prokaryotic cells contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis.

  False
• Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not, leading to differences in cell organization
