Differentiating Prokaryotes from Eukaryotes · Paper 3 & 4 · 15 Questions
Unique Structures of Bacterial Cells
Name the small circular pieces of DNA found in bacterial cells.
Describe how the main genetic material in a bacterial cell differs in its location from an animal cell.
State the name of the structure that surrounds the cell membrane of a bacterial cell and gives it shape and protection.
Name the structure used by bacterial cells for movement.
State two ways in which the genetic material of a bacterial cell is different from that of an animal cell.
Structures Absent in Bacterial Cells
Name two structures present in an animal cell but absent in a bacterial cell.
Which of the following structures is found in an animal cell but NOT in a bacterial cell?
Which statement correctly describes a difference between bacterial and animal cells?
Explain why bacteria are described as prokaryotic cells. Refer to three specific structural features in your answer.
A student says: 'Bacteria have no organelles at all.' Evaluate this statement.
Shared Structures
State two structures found in both bacterial cells and plant cells.
Which structure is found in both a bacterial cell and a plant cell?
State two structures that are present in both bacterial cells and animal cells.
