What is a prokaryotic cell?
A cell that does not contain a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.
Do eukaryotic cells have a nucleus?
Yes.
Do prokaryotic cells have a nucleus?
No - their DNA is free in the cytoplasm.
Where is the DNA found in a eukaryotic cell?
Inside the nucleus.
Where is the DNA found in a prokaryotic cell?
Free in the cytoplasm and sometimes in plasmids.
Which type of cell is generally larger?
Eukaryotic cells.
Which type of cell is generally smaller?
Prokaryotic cells.
Give one example of a eukaryotic organism.
Animal, plant, fungus or protist (any one).
Give one example of a prokaryotic organism.
Bacteria.
How do prokaryotic cells reproduce?
By binary fission.
What is a plasmid?
A small, circular piece of DNA found in prokaryotic cells.
Do eukaryotic cells contain mitochondria?
Yes.
Do prokaryotic cells contain mitochondria?
No.
What is a flagellum?
A tail-like structure that allows some prokaryotic cells to move.
Name one structure found in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
Cell membrane (also: cytoplasm, ribosomes).
