• Cell wall

• capsule

• nucleus

• cytoplasm

A bacterial cell’s DNA is found in its

• capsule

• nucleus

• Nucleoid region

• Bacteria do not have DNA

Which one of the following is not found in prokaryotic cells?

• ribosomes

• A membrane bound nucleus

• Cell wall

• pili

Bacteria do not have a nucleus. Since the nucleus contains DNA, it can be concluded that bacteria do not contain DNA

• True

• False

What is the difference between a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell?

• Eukaryotic cells contain a plasma membrane, but prokaryotic cells do not

• Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not.

• Prokaryotic cells contain a nucleus and eukaryotic cells do not.

• Eukaryotic cells contain DNA, and prokaryotic cells do not.

• True

• False

All bacteria are harmful

• True

• False

In order to grow, all microorganisms require

• Liquid water

• Oxygen

• Organic substances

• Warm temperatures

How could you best determine whether a cell is eukaryotic?

• whether or not the cell is partitioned by internal membranes

• whether or not the cell carries out cellular metabolism

• the presence or absence of ribosomes

• whether or not the cell contains DNA

Bacterial cell are prokaryotic; in comparison to a typical eukaryotic cell they would

• be smaller

• lack a plasma membrane

• have a smaller nucleus

• have a greater variety of organelles
