Prokaryotic Cells

Question 1

What two groups are prokaryotes divided into

Answer 1

Bacteria and Archaea

Question 2

What do prokaryotes not have that eukaryotes do

Answer 2

Nucleus (DNA is suspended in cytoplasm), endoplasmic reticulum’s or golgi apparatus.

Question 3

What do eukaryotes not have that prokaryotes do

Answer 3

Secreted Slime, Plasmids, flagella

Question 4

give function of secreted slime

Answer 4

Protects bacteria from attacks by immune system.

Question 5

give function of plasmids

Answer 5

Small loops of DNA. Contain genes for things like antibiotic resistance . Can be passed to other cells.

Question 6

Which has membrane bound organelles - Prokaryotes or Eukaryotes

Answer 6

Eukaryotes

Question 7

Eukaryotes ribosomes are 80s (there size) what are prokaryotes

Answer 7

70s

Question 8

what happens in step 1 of binary fission

Answer 8

Circular DNA is replicated once and Plasmids replicate (plasmids can replicate many times)

Question 9

What happens in step 2 of binary fission

Answer 9

Cell enlarges and DNA loops move to opposite poles of cell

Question 10

What happens in step 3 of binary fission

Answer 10

Cytoplasm begins to divide, new cell walls form

Question 11

What happens in step 4 of binary fission

Answer 11

Cytoplasm divides producing 2 new daughter cells, each with one copy of either DNA loop, but can have a variable number of plasmids each
