Front

What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do.

Front

What are viruses considered nonliving?

Back

Viruses are considered nonliving because they are not made of cells.

Front

What is the function of the capsid in a virus?

Back

The capsid protects the viral genetic material and helps the virus attach to host cells.

Front

Where is the genetic material located in prokaryotic cells?

Back

The genetic material in prokaryotic cells is located in the nucleoid region.

Front

What is the role of attachment proteins in viruses?

Back

Attachment proteins help viruses bind to specific receptors on host cells.

Front

Do eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles?

Back

Yes, eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus and mitochondria.

Front

What is the primary component of the cell membrane?

Back

The primary component of the cell membrane is the phospholipid bilayer.

Front

How do viruses replicate?

Back

Viruses replicate by hijacking the host cell's machinery to produce new virus particles.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells?

Back

The nucleus houses the cell's DNA and controls cellular activities.
