Question 2

What are prokaryotic cells and give an example

Answer 2

A cell that has no nucleus and the DNA is free in the cytoplasm
Includes bacteria

Question 3

Prokaryotes contents

Answer 3

Cell wall
Cell membrane
Flagellum
Ribosomes
One loop of DNA
Plasmids
Cytoplasm
Pili

Question 4

Differences in Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes (animal cell)

Answer 4

E has a nucleus, P has one main loop of DNA and extra plasmids free in cytoplasm
E undergoes mitosis, P undergoes binary fission
E has a mitochondria, P does not
E is a lot larger than P
E has no cell wall, P does

Question 5

Similarities in prokaryotes and eukaryotes (animal cell)

Answer 5

Both have ribosomes
Both have cell membrane
Both have cytoplasm
In some cases eg sperm cells both have flagellum

Question 6

Differences in Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes (plant cells)

Answer 6

P has no chloroplasts
E has a nucleus P doesn’t
E undergoes mitosis, P undergoes binary fission
E has no pili flagellum
