300
Describe one similarity between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
Answers may vary - 1) They both have DNA. 2) They both have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, or ribosome
300
Name an organelle that is only in animal cells
Either answer is acceptable: small vacuoles or lysosome
300
Name the steps of the cell cycle in order.
Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis
400
Which structure organizes the movement of spindles?
centrioles
400
What is the last phase of mitosis?
telophase
400
Give an example of an organism that has prokaryotic cells inside of its body.
Bacteria
400
Name at least 2 organelles that are only found in the plant cell and not an animal cell.
Chloroplast, cell wall, and large vacuole.
400
What are the 4 types of tissues?
connective, muscle, nervious, and epithelial
500
What is different between plant and animal cells when they go through cytokinesis?
Plant cells form a cell plate to divide the cells and animal cells don't need this structure to divide.
500
Provide 3 reasons why cells divide.
1) To maintain homeostasis (cells can't be too large or else they won't be able to take in or let out materials fast enough). 2) For growth. 3) To replace damaged or old cells
500
Name 3 differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells
Prokaryotic cells are simpler, smaller, and reproduce faster than eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells don't have a nucleus while eukaryotic cells do have a nucleus.
500
Describe the difference between a cell membrane and a cell wall
A cell membrane allows materials to enter or leave the cell. A cell wall provides protection for the cell.
500
