Question 1

What is bigger prokaryotic cell or eukaryotic cell?

Answer 1

eukaryotic cell

Question 2

what is a eukaryote?

Answer 2

a multi or uni-cellular organism made from eukaryotic cells

Question 3

what is a prokaryote?

Answer 3

a single celled organism made from prokaryotic cells

Question 4

what do bacterial cells have?

Answer 4

-DNA that is not contained in a nucleus (a single circular strand of DNA)
-Cell membrane
-Cytoplasm
-Cell wall
-Plasmids (smaller rings of DNA) sometimes
-ribosomes

-

Question 5

what type of organism are prokaryotes?

Answer 5

fungi or bacteria

Question 6

what type of organisms are eukaryotes?

Answer 6

plant or animal

Question 7

what do animal cells have in them?

and function

Answer 7

-cell membrane- controls what goes in and out of the cell
-cytoplasm- where chemical reactions happen
-nucleus- contains genetic material and controls the activities of the cell
-mitochondria- where respiration happens and energy is released
-ribosomes - protein synthesis

Question 8

what do plant cells have in them?

and function

Answer 8

-everything a animal cell does
-chlorpasts- absorbs light energy fot photosynthesis
- vacuole - contains the cell sap
-cell wall- keeps the cell rigid and stops it from bursting

Question 9

what are some differences between eukaryotes and prokaryotes?

Answer 9

• prokaryotes are smaller than eukaryotes
• prokaryotes don’t have mitochondria eukaryotes do
  -eukaryotes can be multi-cellular whereas prokaryotes can only be uni-cellular
  -in prokaryotes the DNA is not contained in a nucleus
  -prokaryotes are fungi or bacteria, eukaryotes are animals or plants

Answer 10

-they both have DNA
-they both have Cytoplasm
-they both have ribosomes
-they both have a cell membrane
-they both can be unicellular

Question 11
