Some prokaryotes and eukaryotes have a cellular structure called a flagella.  What is the purpose of the flagella?

• to transport molecules across the cell membrane

• to propel the cell through liquid

• to collect food for the cell

• to tell the cell the direction of a food source

How are prokaryotes and eukaryotes similar?

• They both contain membrane-bound organelles.

• They both have cell membranes.

• The both have nuclei.

• They both have chloroplasts.

Which of the following in NOT a characteristic of eukaryotic cells?

• DNA is separated from the cytoplasm by a nuclear membrane

• Large

• Complex 

• Lack membrane-bound organelles
