Eukaryotes versus Prokaryotes

Question 1

Prokaryote or Eukaryote: Larger, have more extensive intracellular anatomy and organization with well-defined nucleus

Answer 1

Eukaryote

Question 2

Prokaryote or Eukaryote: No organelles

Answer 2

Prokaryotes

Question 3

Prokaryote or Eukaryote: Have set of membrane bound intracellular compartments called organelles, that include a well-defined nucleus

Answer 3

Eukaryote

Question 4

Eukaryotes/Prokaryotes: Have histones which bind with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and are involved in supercoiling DNA

Answer 4

Eukaryotes

Question 5

E/P: Several or many chromosomes (DNA/RNA structures part of protein production/ synthesis)

Answer 5

Eukaryotes

Question 6

E/P: Major structural complexity because of the many RNA complex proteins (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA)

Answer 6

Eukaryotes

Question 7

E/P: Complex intracellular membrane bound organelles and organization

Answer 7

Eukaryotes

Question 8

E/P: Higher animals, humans, plants, fungi, protozoa, and algae

Answer 8

Eukaryotes

Question 9

E/P: nuclear material is not encased by nuclear membrane, no distinct nucleus

Answer 9

Prokaryotes

Question 10

E/P: The nuclei carry genetic information in a single circular chromosome

Answer 10

Prokaryotes

Question 11

E/P: Lack a class of protein called Histones

Answer 11

Prokaryotes

Question 12

E/P: Smaller, no nucleus

Answer 12

Prokaryotes

Question 13

E/P: Does not contain complex genetic material (single, circular chromones)

Answer 13

Prokaryotes

Question 14

E/P: Simple structure then does not have the ability to produce/synthesize RNA complex proteins

Answer 14

Prokaryotes

Question 15

E/P: Lack mitochondria and other organelles

Answer 15

Prokaryotes

Question 16

E/P: Less complicated mechanisms of transport across outer cellular membranes and enzyme content

Answer 16

Prokaryotes

Question 17

E/P: Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), bacteria

Answer 17

Prokaryotes
