12 Questions
What is the process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells?
Cytokinesis
Which of the following is not a characteristic of a prokaryotic cell?
Contains membrane-bound organelles
Which organelle is responsible for intracellular digestion and waste removal in a cell?
Golgi apparatus
What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?
Energy production
Explain the difference between mitosis and meiosis.
Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically different daughter cells.
Describe the structure and function of the chloroplast.
The chloroplast is a double-membrane organelle containing chlorophyll, responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells.
What is the role of the endoplasmic reticulum in a cell?
The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis, folding, modification, and transport of proteins and lipids.
Explain the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
How does the structure of a prokaryotic cell differ from that of a eukaryotic cell?
Prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
What is the significance of meiosis in the process of cell division?
Meiosis is significant in producing gametes with half the number of chromosomes, ensuring genetic diversity through recombination, and contributing to the continuity of a species.
Explain the role of the Golgi apparatus in a cell's functioning.
The Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or for use within the cell.
How does the process of endocytosis contribute to a cell's functioning?
Endocytosis allows cells to take in substances from the external environment by engulfing them through the cell membrane, contributing to nutrient uptake and cellular communication.
