Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells
This type of cell does not have a nucleus.
prokaryotic cell
An organism made of only one cell is called this
unicellular
An organism that makes its own food is called this
Autotrophs
This structure protects and controls what enters and leaves a cell.
cell membrane
True or False: Bacteria are eukaryotic.
False
These cells make up plants, animals, fungi, and protists
eukaryotic cells
True or False: Humans are unicellular.
False
This process allows plants to turn sunlight into food.
Photosynthesis
This organelle in plant cells is responsible for photosynthesis.
Chloroplast
What type of cell is found in all plants and animals?
eukaryotic cell
True or False: Prokaryotic cells have DNA
True
Give one example of a unicellular organism.
bacteria, yeast, amoeba, or paramecium
Animals and fungi must eat other organisms for energy. What are they called?
heterotrophs
In eukaryotic cells, this organelle controls the cell’s activities.
Nucleus
Name one way unicellular and multicellular organisms are different.
unicellular organisms have one cell, while multicellular organisms have many
Name one structure found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
cell membrane, ribosome, cytoplasm, or DNA
Why do multicellular organisms have specialized cells?
to perform different jobs in the body
Name one autotrophic organism.
plant, algae, or cyanobacteria
Unlike plant cells, animal cells do not have this outer layer.
Cell Wall
Fungi are heterotrophs. How do they get their food?
by absorbing nutrients from dead or living things
Prokaryotic cells belong to these two domains of life.
Bacteria and Archaea
Colony
What is the main difference between an autotroph and a heterotroph?
autotrophs make their own food while heterotrophs eat other organisms
Name one organelle found in plant cells but not in animal cells.
Chloroplast or cell wall
because different cells perform different functions, like nerve cells sending signals or muscle cells helping movement
