Prokaryotes can easily be recognized as lacking this very important organelle. I "nu" you'd know this one.

What is the nucleus?

100

Eukaryotes like their DNA organized. So they take advantage of this organelle which acts like a headquarters.

What is the nucleus?

Uh oh. Someone is trying to get into the cell. They got stopped though at this picky traffic control officer...

What is the selectively permeable membrane (plasma membrane)?

Ow! Momma always told me not to touch a hot stove because it will trigger this characteristic of life!

What is response to stimuli?

That's a small lunch. Luckily eating an apple will you give you quick energy because its chock full of these types of sugars.

What are monosaccharides?

200

Prokaryotes are all jumbled up. Likely because they don't have these types of organelles which give cells some character!

What are membrane bound organelles?

200

Prokaryotes are often single cellular organisms. Eukaryotes though are much cooler because they make up these type.

What are multi-cellular organisms?

Need something mailed? Just stop by this organelle post office and it'll package it and send it out for you!

What is the golgi apparatus?

200

It got colder outside, so the school turned on the heat. Maybe a little bit too high... Now I am sweating because of this characteristic of life.

What is homeostasis?

Deep fried butter sticks. That's a whole lot of saturated these...

What are lipids?

Do not be deceived. Just because most prokaryotes are this type of organism, that doesn't mean their all bad! Don't judge a cell by its cover!

What is bacteria?

300

Not all eukaryotes have a cell wall, but all of them have this surrounding coat.

What is a plasma membrane?

300

While cruising around Cell City you passed the ER! Not the emergency room but this specialized factory, and yes, you need to pronounce it right.

What is the endoplasmic reticulum?

300

Please grow up! And take on this characteristic of life.

What is development?

Do you even lift bro? If you do, you probably want a lot of this macromolecule found in whey shakes to build muscle- bro.

What is protein?

This structure outside of a prokaryotes cell encapsulates it like a Beats by Dr. Dre, just without, you know- the tunes...

What is the cell wall?

400

Eukaryotes like to think they are special, but prokaryotes have this tiny type of organelle in common with them! Sorry to burst your cytoplasm eukaryotes...

What are ribosomes?

400

The organelles need to make sure they have their trash set out for these guys to come by take it...

What are lysosomes?

Wait a little while and enjoy your life! Don't worry about this duplicating characteristic of life- yet.

What is reproduction?

Unsaturated fats are this at room temperature. Usually healthier too.

What is liquid?

Prokaryotes can move because of the appendages it has! This movement is called this, not after the dance or a train.

What is locomotion?

500

The two main types of eukaryotes are plant and animal cells. Only plants cells have this organelle however that acts as a warehouse. They must think they are something.

What are vacuoles?

500

I am so happy we have this power plant working night and day to keep the lights on in Cell City! They use glucose and oxygen to get it done!

What is the mitochondria?

500

You want ATP? You got ATP. Simultaneously, you also get this characteristic of life. Two for one!

What is energy?

You like crab, lobster, and shrimp? Make sure to crack the shell first so you don't eat this structural carbohydrate.
