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. They can be unicellular or multicellular, such as plants and animals.

Back

Yes, eukaryotic cells have DNA, but prokaryotic cells also have DNA.

Front

What is cytoplasm?

Back

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance within a cell that contains organelles and is where many cellular processes occur.

Front

Which type of cell has membrane-bound organelles?

Back

Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles.

Front

Can prokaryotic cells be multicellular?

Back

No, prokaryotic cells are always unicellular.

Front

What is an example of a prokaryotic organism?

Back

Bacteria are examples of prokaryotic organisms.

Front

What is an example of a eukaryotic organism?

Back
