A Nucleus
Name two differences between plant and animal cells.
Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while animal cells do not
What is the large storage sac in plant cells that holds water and keeps the cell firm?
The central vacuole
Which type of macromolecule is your body's main source of quick energy?
Carbohydrates

True or False: The genetic material (DNA) of a prokaryotic cell is found in its nucleus.
False. It is not in a nucleus but floats freely in the cytoplasm.
True or False: A eukaryotic cell is typically much smaller and simpler than a prokaryotic cell.
False. A eukaryotic cell is usually much larger and more complex.

The limbic system
Some prokaryotic cells have a long, whip-like tail that helps them move. What is this tail called?

Give one example of a multicellular organism and one example of a unicellular organism that are both made of eukaryotic cells.
Any animal, plant, or fungus for multicellular; amoeba, paramecium, or yeast for unicellular.
Proteins are made by ribosomes. After the ribosomes create them, which organelle packages and ships these proteins to where they need to go?
