What is a eukaryote?
Any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus
Do viruses have a nucleus?

What is another name for the cell membrane?
plasma membrane
What are 3 things mitosis is needed for?

What is the difference between Eukaryote and Prokaryotes?
Eukaryotic cells are cells containing membrane-bound organelles and are the basis for both unicellular and multicellular organisms. In contrast, prokaryotic cells do not have any membrane-bound organelles and are always part of unicellular organisms.
What is the nucleus made of?

What do prokaryotes do in a cell?
Recycling of nutrients by decomposing dead organisms and allowing their nutrients to be re-used. They are also important for many metabolic processes.
What does the nuclues does?
Serves both as the repository of genetic information and as the cell's control center.
What makes an organelle an organelle?

What are the stages of cell cycle?
