Question 2

Which of the following is NOT a difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Accepted Answer

Presence of ribosomes

Question 3

A scientist discovers a unicellular organism with a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a nucleus. To which kingdom does this organism most likely belong?

Accepted Answer

Protista

Question 4

Which of the following best describes the function of the Golgi apparatus in eukaryotic cells?

Accepted Answer

Modification, sorting, and packaging of proteins for secretion

Question 5

Which of the following structures is found in eukaryotic cells but NOT in prokaryotic cells?

Accepted Answer

Mitochondria

Question 6

A patient is diagnosed with malaria. Which type of microorganism is responsible for this disease?

Accepted Answer

Protozoan

Question 7

Which of the following best explains why animal and plant cells differ in their extracellular structures?

Accepted Answer

Plant cells have a rigid cell wall composed of cellulose, while animal cells lack a cell wall and instead have an extracellular matrix rich in proteins such as collagen.

Question 8

Which of the following is a function of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells?

Accepted Answer

Maintaining cell shape and enabling intracellular transport

Question 9

Which of the following correctly matches a eukaryotic cell structure with its function?

Accepted Answer

Lysosome: digestion of macromolecules and cellular debris

Question 10

Which evolutionary development most directly enabled the emergence of the eukaryotic cell?

Accepted Answer

Acquisition of endosymbiotic organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts

Question 11

A eukaryotic cell is observed to have a flagellum. Which of the following best describes the structure of this flagellum?

Accepted Answer

A '9+2' arrangement of microtubules surrounded by the plasma membrane

Question 12

Which of the following is a key difference between the genetic material of prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

Accepted Answer

Eukaryotes have linear chromosomes contained within a nucleus, while prokaryotes have circular DNA in the nucleoid region.

Question 13

Which of the following best describes the function of the plasma membrane in eukaryotic cells?

Accepted Answer

Regulates the movement of substances into and out of the cell

Question 14

Which of the following is a correct statement about the structure and function of eukaryotic cell organelles?

Accepted Answer

The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material and is surrounded by a double membrane.

Question 15

Which of the following is a characteristic of all members of the kingdom Fungi?

Accepted Answer

They are heterotrophic and have cell walls made of chitin.

Question 16

Which of the following best explains why eukaryotic cells can be much larger than prokaryotic cells?

Accepted Answer

Eukaryotic cells have internal membrane-bound organelles that compartmentalize functions, increasing efficiency.

Question 17

Which of the following is a function of the eukaryotic cell's vacuole?

Accepted Answer

Storage of water, ions, and waste products

Question 18

Which of the following is a correct pairing of a eukaryotic cell structure and its function?

Accepted Answer

Mitochondria: site of aerobic respiration and ATP production

Question 19

Which of the following is a unique feature of eukaryotic chromosomes compared to prokaryotic chromosomes?

Accepted Answer

Eukaryotic chromosomes are linear and associated with histone proteins.

Question 20

Which of the following best describes the evolutionary advantage of sexual reproduction in eukaryotes?

Accepted Answer

It increases genetic diversity, allowing populations to adapt to changing environments.
