Compare the cell wall structure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

• Both have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan.

• Prokaryotic cells have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan, while eukaryotic plant cells have a cell wall made of cellulose.

• Eukaryotic cells have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan, while prokaryotic cells have a cell wall made of cellulose.

• Neither prokaryotic nor eukaryotic cells have a cell wall.

DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

Analyze how the presence of a cytoskeleton affects the complexity of eukaryotic cells.

• The cytoskeleton makes eukaryotic cells less complex.

• The cytoskeleton has no effect on the complexity of eukaryotic cells.

• The cytoskeleton contributes to the structural complexity and organization of eukaryotic cells.

• The cytoskeleton is only present in prokaryotic cells.

DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

Evaluate the scientific explanations for the evolution of cellular complexity in eukaryotic cells.

• Eukaryotic cells evolved complexity through the loss of organelles.

• Eukaryotic cells evolved complexity through endosymbiosis and the acquisition of organelles.

• Eukaryotic cells evolved complexity by becoming smaller.

• Eukaryotic cells evolved complexity by losing their nucleus.

Strategize how a scientist might use evidence to support the theory of endosymbiosis in explaining eukaryotic cell complexity.

• By showing that mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA similar to prokaryotes.

• By demonstrating that eukaryotic cells do not have mitochondria.

• By proving that prokaryotic cells have a nucleus.

• By showing that eukaryotic cells do not have ribosomes.
