Flashcards

What are membrane-bound organelles?

Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles, meaning their internal structures are not enclosed within membranes. They have a simpler organization compared to eukaryotic cells.

How is DNA organized in eukaryotic cells?

Eukaryotic cells have complex DNA organized with histones, specialized proteins that help package and regulate the DNA. This linear DNA is located within the nucleus.

What type of cell are protists?

Protists are a diverse group of organisms that belong to the eukaryotic domain. They have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

What is the function of a cell wall?

The cell wall provides structural support and protection for the cell. It acts as a rigid barrier that helps maintain the cell's shape and protects it from external forces.
