| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Define: Prokaryotic | A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and other organelles; genetic material is found in the cytoplasm |
| Define: Eukaryotic | a cell where the genetic material is found in a nucleus; mostly multicellular |
| Where is the genetic material located in a eukaryotic cell? | The nucleus. |
| Are eukaryotic cells mostly multicellular or unicellular? | Mostly multicellular |
| Where is the genetic material located in a prokaryotic cell? | Cytoplasm |
| Are prokaryotic cells multicellular or unicellular? | Unicellular |
| What is one example of a eukaryotic organism? | A bear, a fish, a tree, etc. |
| What is one example of a prokaryotic organism? | Bacteria |
| What is the function of cytoplasm? | contains genetic material of a prokaryotic cell; where most of the work of the cell is carried out |
| What is the function of the cell membrane? | a protective outer covering that encloses every cell |
| What is the function of the cell wall? | tough outer covering just outside the cell membrane only found in plant cells |
| What is the function of the nucleus? | where the genetic material of the eukaryotic cell is found; needed to reproduce and function |
| How do you identify a plant cell? | A plant cell is rectangular and contains a cell wall, chloroplasts and a celtral vascuole, unlike an animal cell |
| How to identify an animal cell? | An animal cell is round and contains lysosomes, unlike a plant cell |
