    MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE

    1. FALSE – All- Multicellular


    2. TRUE
    3. TRUE
    4. FALSE – have a nucleus– don’t have a nucleus
    5. TRUE
    6. TRUE
    7. FALSE – complex – simple
    8. TRUE
    9. FALSE – are similar – are not similar
    10.TRUE
    11.FALSE – prokaryotic cells – eukaryotic cells

    13.FALSE – living organisms – nonliving organisms
    14.FALSE – are about the size – are not the size
    15.TRUE

    ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS

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

    The primary difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells


    is that eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, which stores the DNA or the genetic
    material for the cell. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, instead their
    genetic material or the DNA of the cell is bundled together in the nucleoid,
    which is an irregularly shaped region.
    2. Give an example of a prokaryotic organism.

    One of the most common prokaryotes are bacteria, they are present in
    many places and are even observed in the human body, mostly found in the
    digestive system, in which they aid in digesting food. A specific example of
    bacteria is the Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota that reaches the intestine
    live and helps build immunity and improve digestion.

    3. What is an organelle? Give three examples.

    A cell organelle is a structure inside the cell that has its own specific
    purpose or function to maintain the functionality of the cell; it could be
    compared to the organs of the human body.

    Three examples of cell organelles:

    1. Nucleus - responsible for the storage of the genetic material or the DNA.
    2. Ribosome – involved and responsible for the manufacturing or
    production of proteins.
    3. Cytoskeleton- helps maintain the overall shape of the cell, and is
    responsible for holding the nucleus in space as well as supporting the
    other cell contents.
    4. Describe the Nucleus. What can be found inside the Nucleus?

    The Nucleus could be considered as the most important organelle in a


    cell, it contains the genetic material or the DNA of the cell. It is considered
    as the most important organelle as it directs or controls the different
    activities of the cell. The DNA or the genetic material of the cell has the
    main function of storing genetic information; it contains the instructions on
    how to create the different components of the cell.

    5. Are viruses alive? Discuss why or why not.

    It is considered that viruses are nonliving things, when we look at


    different criteria to see if something is alive, such as living things having
    cells, living things reproduce they fail to pass these standards. Viruses do not
    have cells; they only have a protein coat that stores their genetic material.
    When talking about the reproduction of a virus, viruses unlike cells, cannot
    make a copy of their own genetic material, instead use a living host to create
    more of it, viruses do not possess the tools to replicate their genetic material
    by themselves.
