  • What is a prokaryote?

    A prokaryote is a unicellular organism without a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.

  • What defines a eukaryote?

    A eukaryote is an organism whose cells contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

  • Key difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

    Prokaryotes lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles; eukaryotes have both.

  • What is the function of the prokaryotic cell wall?

    The cell wall provides structural support and protection in prokaryotes.

  • What is the role of the plasma membrane in both cell types?

    The plasma membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

  • What is the nucleoid region in prokaryotes?

    The nucleoid is the region in prokaryotes where the circular DNA is located, not enclosed by a membrane.

  • What organelle contains genetic material in eukaryotes?

    The nucleus contains the cell's DNA enclosed within a double membrane.

  • What are ribosomes and their function?

    Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

  • Difference in ribosome size between prokaryotes and eukaryotes

    Prokaryotic ribosomes are 70S; eukaryotic ribosomes are 80S in size.

  • What is the function of mitochondria in eukaryotes?

    Mitochondria generate ATP through cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells.

  • What is the role of chloroplasts?

    Chloroplasts conduct photosynthesis in plant eukaryotic cells.

  • What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?

    The rough ER synthesizes proteins; the smooth ER synthesizes lipids and detoxifies substances.

  • What is the Golgi apparatus responsible for?

    The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport.

  • What structures aid prokaryotic motility?

    Flagella and pili help prokaryotes move and attach to surfaces.

  • What is the function of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotes?

    The cytoskeleton provides structural support and aids in intracellular transport and cell division.

  • What is the capsule in prokaryotes?

    The capsule is a protective outer layer that helps prokaryotes evade the immune system.

  • How do prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA differ?

    Prokaryotic DNA is circular and free in the cytoplasm; eukaryotic DNA is linear and enclosed in the nucleus.

  • What is the function of lysosomes in eukaryotic cells?

    Lysosomes contain enzymes that digest waste materials and cellular debris.

  • What is the role of the vacuole in eukaryotic cells?

    Vacuoles store nutrients, waste products, and help maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.

  • What is the main difference in cell size between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

    Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller (1-10 µm) than eukaryotic cells (10-100 µm).
