Eukaryotic

Question 1

What is a eukaryotic cell?

Answer 1

A eukaryotic cell is a cell that possesses a true nucleus limited by a nuclear envelope, containing genetic material in the form of DNA and a highly structured cytoplasm containing numerous specific organelles.

Question 2

What are the basic properties that a cell must exhibit to be considered a living organism?

Answer 2

• Se nourrir
• Croître
• Se développer
• Se reproduire
• Fonctionner de manière autonome

Question 3

What is the protoplasm?

Answer 3

The protoplasm represents the content of a living cell, including the cytoplasm and the nucleus.

Question 4

What does the cytoplasm consist of?

Answer 4

• Hyaloplasm
• Morphoplasm (organelles)

Question 5

What is the hyaloplasm?

Answer 5

The hyaloplasm is a transparent structure that serves as a support for organelles and includes the cytosol and the cytoskeleton.

Question 6

What is the cytosol?

Answer 6

The cytosol is a solution rich in water (approximately 80%), proteins, sugars, and ions, appearing homogeneous and transparent.

Question 7

What is the size range of eukaryotic cells?

Answer 7

Eukaryotic cells generally range in size from 10 to 100 micrometers.

Question 8

What types of organisms do eukaryotes correspond to?

Answer 8

• Multicellular organisms (animals, plants, fungi)
• Some unicellular eukaryotes (protists)

Question 9

What are the two types of unicellular eukaryotes?

Answer 9

• Protozoa (animal-like protists, e.g., amoebas and paramecia)
• Protophytes (plant-like protists)

Question 10

What is the function of the plasma membrane in a eukaryotic cell?

Answer 10

The plasma membrane constitutes a fluid and impermeable barrier that isolates the cell from the external environment and plays a role in selective barrier and regulation of water and ion concentrations.

Question 11

True or False: All organelles within a eukaryotic cell are delimited by membranes.

Answer 11

True

Question 12

Fill in the blank: The eukaryotic cell is limited by the _______.

Answer 12

[plasma membrane]

Question 13

What are the main components of the eukaryotic cell?

Answer 13

• Nucleus
• Cytoplasm
• Organelles

Question 14

What defines the morphological and functional specificity of eukaryotic cells?

Answer 14

Eukaryotic cells can exhibit a wide diversity of shapes and properties within the same organism.

Question 15

What is the fundamental structural and functional unit of all living beings?

Answer 15

The cell
