ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS

1.What is one main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

One of the main difference between these two types of cell is that eukaryotic cells have a
distinct nucleus containing the cell's genetic material while prokaryotic cells dont have a nucleus
as the cell's genetic material free floats on the cytoplasm.

2. Give an example of a prokaryotic organism.

Ome example of a prokaryotic organism is a bacteria called Streptococcus Bacterium. This

bacteria is responsible for a strep throat which is an infection in the back of the throat including
the tonsils.

3.What is an organelle? Give three examples.

Organelles are membrane bound compartments found inside the eukaryotic cells in the
cytoplasm which have a specialized function. Some examples of the organelles are nucleus, the
mitochondrion, and the Golgi apparatus.

4.Describe the nucleus. What can be found inside the nucleus?

A nucleus is a membrane bound organelle that contains the genetic material or the
chromosomes of eukaryotic organisms. Chromatin, a complex of DNA and proteins that forms
the chromosomes, could be found inside the nucleus which is stored inside a gel like substance
called nucleoplasm.
