Prokaryotic Cells
What types of organisms are prokaryotes
single-celled organisms
What is a eukaryotic cell?
a type of cell characterized by the presence of a membrane-bound nucleus that contains the cell's genetic material (DNA)
What is a cell organelle?
a specialized, membrane-bound structure
What are the four major classes of macromolecules and their primary functions?
Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids
The food that is known for never spoiling
What is Honey
What is the defining characteristic of a prokaryotic cell
a true, membrane-bound nucleus
What are some key differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells
a true nucleus,membrane-bound organelles
What is the role of mitochondria
powerhouse of the cell
What are monomers and polymers, and how are they related to macromolecules
A monomer is a small molecular subunit or building block,
A polymer is a long chain made up of many repeating monomer units joined together.
What is the hardest natural substance on Earth
(Diamond)
What are the essential components of a prokaryotic cell's structure
a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and their DNA
What are some examples of organisms with eukaryotic cells?
animals, plants, fungi, and protists
What do ribosomes do
the protein builders
What are the building blocks (monomers) for each of the four types of macromolecules
Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids
Who painted the Mona Lisa?
(Leonardo da Vinci)
What structures, if any, are found on the surface of a prokaryotic cell
external appendages
Are all eukaryotic cells the same size and structure
no
What is the difference between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum
The rough ER is studded with ribosome while the smooth ER lacks ribosomes
What is the difference in structure and function between starch, glycogen, and cellulose
They differ in their bonding and branching patterns, which result in different functions.
Which planet is known as the "Red Planet"?
(Mars)
How is the genetic material of a prokaryotic cell organized
their genetic material is found in a region of the cytoplasm called the nucleoid
How does the organization of genetic material differ between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?
Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus while a prokaryotic does not
What is the function of the nucleus
the cell's control center
What role do nucleic acids play in the synthesis of proteins?
Nucleic acids direct the synthesis of proteins in a two-step process
What is my favorite color?
