Prokaryote vs Eukaryote

Front

What are prokaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells are simple, single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Examples include bacteria.

Front

What are eukaryotic cells?

Back

Eukaryotic cells are complex cells that contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Examples include plant and animal cells.

Front

What is a nucleus?

Back

The nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls the cell's activities.

Front

Do prokaryotic cells have a cell membrane?

Back

Yes, prokaryotic cells have a cell membrane that surrounds and protects the cell.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Front

What is a cell wall?

Back

A cell wall is a rigid outer layer that provides support and protection to some cells, such as plant cells and bacteria.

Front

What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

The main difference is that prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells do.

Front

Can eukaryotic cells be multicellular?

Back

Yes, eukaryotic cells can be multicellular, forming complex organisms like plants and animals.

Front

What type of organisms are prokaryotes?

Back

Prokaryotes include bacteria and archaea, which are single-celled organisms.

Front

What are some examples of eukaryotic organisms?

Back

Examples of eukaryotic organisms include humans, trees, fungi, and insects.
