Prokaryotic Cells
Are prokaryotes multicellular or unicellular?
Unicellular (single-celled).
All other living organisms, ex. animals, plants, fungi, and protists have what cells?
Eukaryotic cells.
What part controls the entry and exit of large molecules?
The cell membrane.
What are the six main elements found in living things?
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus.
What color is the sky?
Blue.
True or false, prokaryotes are smaller than most eukaryotic cells?
True.
Are Eukaryotes usually multicellular or unicellular?
Multicellular.
Definition of cell organelles-
The cells of all organisms have similar internal structures called Organelles which are the "small organs" that help the cell to carry out these life processes.
What are four macromolecules and their purpose?
Carbohydrates: primary fuel source, proteins: make enzymes, lipids: store energy, and nucleic acids: store cellular information.
What day is Christmas?
December 25th.
What is the main difference between the two types of cells?
Presence of a nucleus (eukaryotes) and its absence (prokaryotes).
Do eukaryotic cells form much larger or smaller structures such as tissues, organs, and organ systems?
Larger.
What is the difference between the cytoplasm and the cytoskeleton?
The cytoplasm is a semi-fluid, clear thick jelly-like consistency, mostly made up of water. The cytoskeleton is a web of long tubes and fibers made of protein.
What is the difference between monomers and polymers?
Macromolecules are made up of repeating subunits called monomers, when a large number of these monomers join together, they are polymers.
When is my birthday?
April 6, 2010.
True or false, circular chromosome make prokaryotic cells highly useful for genetic engineering?
True.
Give examples of a unicellular eukaryote-
Protozoa, algae, slime molds, and euglena.
Fill in the blank: A stack of flat membrane-covered sacs that sort and package chemicals for export are called what?
A golgi body.
What are the three categories carbohydrates can be divided into?
Monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.
What is my favorite drink?
Cherry coke.
Fill in the blank: Name ways Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes are similar-
Cytoplasm, ribosomes, plasma membrane, DNA, both are cells, and they both have a cell membrane.
Fill in the blank: The cells of a eukaryotic organism work together and are what?
Much more specialized than a prokaryotic cell.
What are small cylindrical structures that form spindle fibers during cell division in animal cells?
Centrioles.
What is the difference between DNA and RNA?
DNA is a double-stranded molecule which is found in the nucleus of the cell, it is the main copy of an organism's genetic code. RNA is a single-stranded molecule that is a nucleic acid molecule which forms the copy of DNA that is used to make proteins.
What is my favorite season?
Fall!
