Part 1: Eukaryote vs. Prokaryote
For each statement, write:
-
P = applies to
prokaryotes only
-
E = applies to
eukaryotes only
-
Both = applies to
both
---
1.
I have a cell membrane (plasma membrane)
✔ Both
→ All cells, prokaryotic and eukaryotic, have a plasma membrane.
2.
I have a nucleus
✔ E
→ Only eukaryotes have a membrane-bound nucleus. Prokaryotes do not.
3.
Bacteria are an example of me
✔ P
→ Bacteria are prokaryotes.
4.
Fungi are an example of me
✔ E
→ Fungi are eukaryotes.
5.
Animals are an example of me
✔ E
→ Animals are made of eukaryotic cells.
6.
I contain ribosomes
✔ Both
→ Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have ribosomes (though they differ in size).
7.
I contain membrane-bound organelles
✔ E
→ Only eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles (like mitochondria, nucleus, etc.).
8.
I contain cytoplasm
✔ Both
→ All cells have cytoplasm.
9.
Your body cells are made of this type of cell
✔ E
→ Human body cells are eukaryotic.
10.
Protists are an example of me
✔ E
→ Protists are eukaryotes.
11.
Plants are an example of me
✔ E
→ Plants are eukaryotes.
12.
I contain genetic material such as DNA
✔ Both
→ All cells contain DNA as genetic material.
