Eukaryote cells have a nucleus and are classified as plant and animal cells.

Question 2

What is the structural difference between bacteria, plant, and animal cells?

Answer 2

plant and animal cells are similar in most ways, except plant cells have a cell wall and animal cells only have a cell membrane. Bacteria cells are classified under prokaryote cells so they lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

Question 3

Benefits of Prokaryote Cells?

Answer 3

there are fewer items in the cell to duplicate, so it is quicker to reproduce and takes less energy to reproduce.

Answer 6

Lysosomes break down the waste in the cell, like a garbage disposal.

Question 7

How can Eukaryote cells read the instructions?

Answer 7

The cell makes a copy of the gene, it joins with ribosomes, ribosomes decode the message to build protiens.

Question 8

How can Prokaryote cells read the instructions?

Answer 8

copy genes, the ribosomes decode the genes.

Question 9
