Eukaryotes
Eukaryotes have a ___________ which distinguishes them from prokaryotes
What is a nucleus?
Prokaryotic cells are similar to eukaryotic cells because they both contain DNA, Cytoplasm, and _________.
What is Ribosomes?
All eukaryotic cells are unicellular organisms.
What is FALSE?
In addition to chromosomal DNA, prokaryotic can also possess smaller, circular DNA molecules called _______.
What are plasmids?
The five major types of biomes.
What are aquatic, grassland, forest, desert, and tundra?
Eukaryotes contain what four types of cells?
What are: animal, plant, protists, and fungi cells
Prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus, so their _____ is not enclosed in a separate compartment.
What is DNA?
All eukaryotic cells get their energy from the sun.
What is FALSE?
While some, like plant cells, use sunlight to produce energy through photosynthesis, others, like animal cells and many fungal cells, obtain energy from consuming other organisms or their byproducts.
The genetic material of a prokaryotes consists of a _________ circular DNA molecule located in the cytoplasm.

Eukaryotes have a very _________ structure
What is complex?
The cell wall in a prokaryotes contains ________, a unique polymer of sugars and amino acids.
Prokaryotic cells are smaller than eukaryotic cells.
What is TRUE?
The eukaryotes possess _______ _______ DNA molecules organized into structures called chromosomes.
What is multiple linear?
_________ produces two genetically identical “daughter” cells from a single “parent” cell, whereas ________ produces cells that are genetically unique from the parent and contain only half as much DNA.
What is mitosis and meiosis?
Eukaryotes cells also contain other ________ besides the nucleus.
What are organelles?
It floats freely in the cytoplasm of a prokaryotes.
What is DNA?
Prokaryotes often have appendages (protrusions) on their surface.
The DNA molecules in eukaryotes are associated with proteins called _________.
What are histones?
It's the metabolic process by which cells convert nutrients into energy (ATP), the primary energy currency of the cell.
What is cellular respiration?
Organelles called _____________ provide energy to the cell, and organelles called vacuoles store substances in the cell.
What is mitochondria?
Prokaryotes are divided into these two distinct groups.
What are bacteria and archaea?

What is BOTH?
It's a crucial process for life on Earth, as it provides the foundation for most food chains and generates the oxygen we breathe.
What is photosynthesis?
