Test: Cell components, Plant v/s Animal cell - JAMB MCQ

Prokaryotic cells do not have a true nucleus, which means their genetic material is not enclosed within a membrane-bound nucleus. Additionally, prokaryotic cells are generally smaller and simpler in structure compared to eukaryotic cells, which is why option a is the correct statement regarding prokaryotic cells

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.

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

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.

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.
