Test: Prokaryotic Cell - JAMB MCQ

• Prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus, meaning their genetic material is not enclosed within a membrane-bound nucleus.
• They also have a cell membrane, and unlike eukaryotic cells, they are generally smaller.
• Prokaryotic cells are found in organisms like bacteria and archaea, not only in animals.

Mitochondria are organelles found in eukaryotic cells and are responsible for energy production. Prokaryotic cells lack mitochondria.

Prokaryotic cells have circular DNA that floats freely in the cytoplasm, whereas eukaryotic cells have linear DNA enclosed within a membrane-bound nucleus.

The cell wall in prokaryotic cells provides structural support and protection against physical damage.

Prokaryotic cells typically have a single circular chromosome, whereas eukaryotic cells have multiple linear chromosomes.

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Prokaryotic cells have a simple structure and lack membrane-bound organelles, making them less complex than eukaryotic cells.

Prokaryotic cells may possess flagella, which are whip-like structures that enable them to move and navigate their environment.

Bacterial cells are examples of prokaryotic cells, whereas human skin cells, plant leaf cells, and fungal cells are examples of eukaryotic cells.

Prokaryotic cells reproduce through a process called binary fission, in which the cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
