Cells

Which type of cell has membrane-bound organelles?

• Prokaryote

• Eukaryote

• Both

Which type of cell is this?

• Prokaryote

• Eukaryote

Where is the DNA found in a prokaryotic cell?

• In the nucleus

• In the mitochondria

• Floating around in the cytoplasm

• In the ribosome

Answer explanation

Prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles. Their genetic material is not stored in a nucleus but is found in the cytoplasm.

Which organelle contains the cell's genetic material?

• nucleus

• endoplasmic reticulum

• Golgi body

• lysosome

What is the function of this organelle?

• Sac that stores water, nutrients, and waste products

• Regulates what enters and leaves the cell

• Structures that transport and ship proteins like UPS

• Cite of cellular respiration also known as the powerhouse of the cell

Answer explanation

This is the mitochondrion. It is the site of aerobic respiration, during which glucose is oxidised to release energy for cell activities.

I store water in both plant and animal cells. What am I?

• Mitochondria

• Lysosome

• Vacuole

• Cytoplasm

Answer explanation

Vacuoles store substances such as starch, pigments and water.

In plants, they help develop turgidity of the cell as water molecules enter the cell sap by osmosis when vacuole volume increases.

What can only be found in plant cells?

• Chloroplast

• Vacuole

• Nucleus

• Cell membrane

The two kinds of cells are Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. How are they different?

• Eukaryotes have genetic materials but prokaryotes do not.

• Eukaryotes have a nucleus but prokaryotes do not.

• Prokaryotes have a nucleus but eukaryotes do not.

• There is no difference between both types of cells.

Bacteria are a type of...

• Prokaryote

• Eukaryote

• Both

Where are proteins made?

• Golgi Body

• Ribosomes

• Chromosomes

• Mitochondria
