Q
what are the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
A
- eukaryotic cells are multi cellular, prokaryotic cells are made up of only one type
- eukaryotic cells have their DNA enclosed in a nucleus, prokaryotic cells have their DNA in the cytoplasm
- prokaryotic cells are much smaller

Q
what subcellular structures do both plant and animal cells have
A
- nucleus
- mitochondria
- cell membrane
- ribosomes
- cytoplasm

Q
what subcellular structures do only plant cells have
A
- chloroplast: contains chlorophyll which absorbs light for photosynthesis
- vacuole: contains cell sap
-cell wall: supports and strengthens cell

contains genetic material
5
Q
cytoplasm
A
where chemical reaction takes place
6
Q
cell membrane
A
controls what goes in and out of the cell
7
