Which organelle is the place where DNA is stored in eukaryotic (plant and animal) cells?

• Cell wall

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

• Lysosome

Which of the following are prokaryotic cells?

• Plant

• Animal

• Bacteria

• Plant and Animal

What is the difference between a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell?

• Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus or organelles, but a eukaryotic cell does

• Eukaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or organelles, but prokaryotes do

How can you tell that this is a prokaryote or eukaryote cell?

• It is a prokaryote because it has a nucleus

• It is a eukaryotic cell because it has a nucleus

• It is eukaryotic because it does not a nucleus nor a cell membrane

• It is prokaryote because it has a cell wall

This organelle is the site where photosynthesis takes place in a plant cell.

• cell membrane

• cytoplasm

• chlorophyll

• chloroplast

NGSS.MS-LS1-6

This organelle is responsible for allowing substances to enter or leave the cell.

• cell wall

• cell membrane

• cytoplasm

• nucleus

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This organelle contains the genetic material (DNA) of the cell.

• mitochondria

• lysosome

• nucleus

• vacuole

NGSS.MS-LS1-1

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This organelle digests certain materials within the cell including food, worn out organelles, and cellular waste.

• vacuole

• lysosome

• cytoplasm

• chloroplast

This organelle acts as a temporary storage space for water and other waste products until they can be eliminated from the cell. Plant cells have fewer and larger ones than animal cells.

• nucleus

• cell wall

• lysosome

• vacuole

Is sometimes called the powerhouse of the cell. Cellular respiration takes place here. Energy (ATP) is used to build, repair, and reproduce cells. Cells with large energy needs have more of these.

• vacuole

• mitochondria

• lysosome

• nucleus
