Question

part iii: determine if each sentence applies to prokaryotes or eukaryotes.

1. dna is found inside of a nucleus.
2. examples include bacteria and archaea.
3. membrane - bound organelles, such as mitochondria and vacuoles, are found in the cytoplasm.
4. examples include animals, plants, fungus, and protists.
5. organisms in this group can be either unicellular or multicellular.
6. dna is found inside of a nucleoid region.
7. the cell has no membrane - bound organelles.
8. organisms in this group are unicellular.

part iv: fill in the table to compare and contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes. use the statements from the box below. you may write the letter of the statement in the appropriate box.

Explanation:

• 15. DNA is found inside of a nucleus: Eukaryotes have a true nucleus where DNA is located. Prokaryotes have DNA in a nucleoid region (not a membrane - bound nucleus). So this applies to eukaryotes.
• 16. Examples include bacteria and archaea: Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotes.
• 17. Membrane - bound organelles, such as mitochondria and vacuoles, are found in the cytoplasm: Membrane - bound organelles are a characteristic of eukaryotes. Prokaryotes lack membrane - bound organelles.
• 18. Examples include animals, plants, fungus, and protists: Animals, plants, fungi, and protists are all eukaryotes.
• 19. Organisms in this group can be either unicellular or multicellular: Eukaryotes can be unicellular (e.g., some protists) or multicellular (e.g., animals, plants). Prokaryotes are mainly unicellular.
• 20. DNA is found inside of a nucleoid region: Prokaryotes have their DNA in a nucleoid region (not enclosed in a membrane - bound nucleus).
• 21. The cell has no membrane - bound organelles: Prokaryotes lack membrane - bound organelles.
• 22. Organisms in this group are unicellular: Prokaryotes are mainly unicellular.

Answer:

1. Eukaryotes; 16. Prokaryotes; 17. Eukaryotes; 18. Eukaryotes; 19. Eukaryotes; 20. Prokaryotes; 21. Prokaryotes; 22. Prokaryotes
