Prokaryotic Cell has a few organelles (no membrane-bound organelles).

A

TRUE

18
Q

MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE

Eukaryotic Cell has a few organelles (no
membrane-bound
organelles).

A

FALSE - PROKARYOTIC CELL

19
Q

MODIFIED TRUE OR FLASE

Prokaryotic Cell has a simple, single-celled (unicellular) organism.

A

TRUE

20
Q

It lacks a nucleus, or any other membrane-bound organelle

A

Prokaryotic Cell

21
Q

Two Kingdoms of Prokaryotic Cell

A
  • Eubacteria (bacteria)
  • Archaebacteria (Archae)
22
Q

Basic structure of Prokaryotes

A
  • DNA
  • Cell/plasma membrane
  • Cell wall
  • Ribosomes

Some use structures like pili,cilia, and flagellum to move in aquatic environments.

23
Q

It has a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound compartments or sacs

A

Eukaryotic Cells

24
Q

Eukaryotic means

A

TRUE KERNEL OR TRUE NUCLEUS

25
Q

MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE

The word “organelle” means “large organ”

A

FLASE - LITTLE ORGAN

26
Q

The Four Kingdoms of Eukaryotic Cell

A
  • Protista
  • Fungi
  • Plantae
  • Animalia
27
Q

MODIFIED TRUE OR FLASE

Eukaryotes can be multicellular or
unicellular.

A

TRUE

28
Q

MODIFIED TRUE OR FLASE

Eukaryotes contain few organelles

A

FALSE - MANY ORGANELLES

29
Q

It is an outer covering that separates the cell’s interior from its surrounding environment

A

PLASMA MEMBRANE

30
Q

It consist of a jelly-like region within the cell
in which other cellular components are found

A

CYTOPLASM

31
Q

It is the the genetic material of the
cell.

A

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)

32
Q

The particles that synthesize proteins.

A

RIBOSOMES

33
Q

Four common components of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic

A
  • Plasma Membrane
  • Cytoplasm
  • DNA
  • Ribosomes
33
Q

They are significantly
smaller than eukaryotic
cells.

A

Prokaryotic
Cells

34
Q

When does it becomes more and more difficult for the cell to acquire sufficient materials to support the processes inside the cell?

A

When the cell becomes larger

35
Q

MODIFIED TRUE OR FLASE

Prokaryotic cells are easier to acquire sufficient materials to support the processes inside the cell.

A

TRUE

It is because prokaryotic cells are smaller than eukaryotic cell.

36
Q

MODIFIED TRUE OR FLASE

Prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus.

A

TRUE

37
Q

MODIFIED TRUE OR FLASE

The DNA location of Eukaryotic cell is found at the Nucleoid.

A

FALSE - NUCLEUS
