Cell Structure- The structure of Eukaryotic cells

Question 1

Give 3 examples of Eukaryotic cells and 2 examples of Prokaryotic cells

Answer 1

Eukaryotic= animals, plants, fungi
Prokaryotic= Bacteria, Archaea

Question 2

membrane bound

Answer 2

surrounded by a membrane

Question 3

histones

Answer 3

proteins in which DNA is tightly wrapped around in a Eukaryotic cell

Question 4

What two things form chromosomes?

Answer 4

histone proteins and chromosomes

Question 5

Give 4 features of Eukaryotic cells

Answer 5

1. DNA is contained in membrane bound nucleus
2. DNA is tightly wrapped around proteins called histones
   3.DNA is a linear molecule (the ends of the DNA molecule in a chromosome are not joined together to form a loop)
3. Membrane bound organelles

Question 6

Name 3 membrane bound organelles in Eukaryotic cells

Answer 6

mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus

Question 7

What is the difference between ribosomes in Eukaryotic cells compared to prokaryotic cells?

Answer 7

Ribosomes in Eukaryotic cells are larger than those in prokaryotes (eukaryotic cells contain 80S ribosomes)
