Practice with Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic Cells

Which statements about the cell theory are TRUE? Hint there were 3 in the EdPuzzle!

all cells have organelles like mitochondria

all cells come from other cells

cells are the smallest unit of life

all organisms are made of one or more cells

all cells are part of multicellular organsisms

Categorize the statements into wether they describe only prokaryotic cells, only eukaryotic cells, or both types of cells.

have a nucleus
do not have a nucleus
maintain homeostatsis
reproduce
are surrounded by a cell membrane
contain DNA
are filled with cytoplasm
contain membrane-bound organelles like mitochrondira and golgi
organisms that are made of this cell type incldue plants and animals
organisms that are made of this cell type incldue bacteria
are alive
evolve over time
contain ribosomes to make proteins
respond to stimuli

Prokaryotic Cells
Both
Eukaryotic Only

You will now see 3 different cells. You should identify the type of cell that is being shown in each photo and justify why your thinking is correct.  

The cell shown above is best described as a

eukaryotic cell because it has a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

prokaryotic cell because it has DNA in the cytoplasm and does not contain membrane-bound organelles

eukaryotic cell because it has DNA in the cytoplasm and does not contain membrane-bound organelles

prokaryotic cell because it has a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

The cell shown above in the first picture could be a

baterial cell

animal cell

The cell shown above is best described as a

prokaryotic cell because it has a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

prokaryotic cell because it has DNA in the cytoplasm and does not contain membrane-bound organelles

eukaryotic cell because it has a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

eukaryotic cell because it has DNA in the cytoplasm and does not contain membrane-bound organelles

The cell shown above in the second picture could be a

baterial cell

animal cell

The cell shown above is best described as a

prokaryotic cell because it has a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

eukaryotic cell because it has DNA in the cytoplasm and does not contain membrane-bound organelles

prokaryotic cell because it has DNA in the cytoplasm and does not contain membrane-bound organelles

eukaryotic cell because it has a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

Since the cell shown above is surrounded by others that are identical in structure and function, the organism from which this sample came can best be described as

unicellular

multicellular

Since the image above shows many of the same type of cell type in one collection, what level of organization would this best be considered?

organ

organ sysem 

cell

tissue

The cells shown above are most likely from which type of organism?

bateria

plant
