Question

cell structure and processes practice worksheet

1. fill out the chart about cells with a \yes\ or a

o.\

	prokaryotic	eukaryotic
cytoplasm
genetic material
ribosome
nucleus
organelles
type of cell	simple	complex

1. which organelles are found only in the plant cell and not animal cells? (note: some prokaryotic bacteria have these organelles.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall cell - type characteristics

Prokaryotic cells are simple, lack a nucleus and most membrane - bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells are complex, have a nucleus and many organelles. Both have cell membranes, cytoplasm, genetic material and ribosomes.

Step2: Identify plant - specific organelles

Chloroplasts are used for photosynthesis and are unique to plant cells (and some protists). The cell wall provides structure and is present in plant cells but not animal cells. The large central vacuole is also more prominent in plant cells.

Answer:

1.

	Prokaryotic	Eukaryotic
Cytoplasm	Yes	Yes
Genetic Material	Yes	Yes
Ribosome	Yes	Yes
Nucleus	No	Yes
Organelles	No (simple - few)	Yes
Type of Cell	Simple	Complex

1. Chloroplasts, cell wall (and large central vacuole in some cases).
