Human Cells /Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Cells

The video tutorial explains the two main types of cells: prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotic cells, found in bacteria and archaea, lack a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles. Eukaryotic cells, present in protozoa, fungi, animals, and plants, have a nucleus and various organelles. The video details the structures and functions of these cells, highlighting the differences between them. Key components like the cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondrion, and chloroplast in eukaryotic cells, and the capsule, cell wall, and flagellum in prokaryotic cells, are discussed.

What are the two main categories of cells mentioned in the introduction?

• DNA and RNA

• Nucleus and Cytoplasm

• Bacteria and Archaea

• Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

Which of the following is true about prokaryotic cells?

• They have a membrane-bound nucleus.

• They belong to the domains Bacteria and Archaea.

• They contain mitochondria.

• They are multicellular organisms.

Which organisms are made up of eukaryotic cells?

• Algae and protozoa only

• Bacteria and Archaea

• Protozoa, fungi, animals, and plants

• Viruses and bacteria

What is the function of the mitochondrion in eukaryotic cells?

• It synthesizes proteins.

• It stores genetic material.

• It transports nutrients.

• It produces energy.

What is the main structural difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus.

• Eukaryotic cells lack organelles.

• Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

• Prokaryotic cells have chloroplasts.
