Which organelle contains the cell's DNA in a eukaryotic cell?
-
Mitochondrion
-
Lysosome
-
Ribosome
-
Nucleus
Correct Answer
A. NucleusExplanation
The nucleus is the correct answer because it is the organelle that contains the cell's DNA in a eukaryotic cell. The nucleus acts as the control center of the cell and houses the genetic material, which includes the DNA. This DNA contains the instructions for the cell's functions and characteristics. The other organelles listed (mitochondrion, lysosome, and ribosome) do not contain the cell's DNA.Rate this question:

The following is a picture of which kind of cell?
-
Eukaryotic cell
-
Prokaryotic cell
-
Animal cell
-
Plant cell
Correct Answer
A. Prokaryotic cellExplanation
The given picture represents a prokaryotic cell. Prokaryotic cells are characterized by the absence of a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. They are typically found in single-celled organisms such as bacteria and archaea. The lack of a defined nucleus can be observed in the picture, along with the absence of membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria or endoplasmic reticulum. Therefore, the correct answer is a prokaryotic cell.Rate this question:

What do prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells have in common?
-
The both have a nucleus
-
They both have DNA
-
They both have an endoplasmic reticulum
-
They both have bacterial flagellum
Correct Answer
A. They both have DNAExplanation
Prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells both have DNA. DNA is the genetic material that carries the instructions for the development, functioning, and reproduction of all living organisms. In both types of cells, DNA is responsible for storing and transmitting genetic information. Although prokaryotic cells do not have a true nucleus like eukaryotic cells, they still have a region called the nucleoid where the DNA is located. Eukaryotic cells have a distinct nucleus that houses the DNA, enclosed within a membrane. Regardless of these structural differences, both types of cells rely on DNA for their genetic information.Rate this question:

In this video, what is occurring?
-
Cellular respiration
-
Photosynthesis
-
Meiosis
-
Mitosis
Correct Answer
A. MitosisExplanation
The video is showing a process where cells are dividing and replicating to create two identical daughter cells. This process is called mitosis, which is a fundamental process in cell division. It is different from cellular respiration, photosynthesis, and meiosis, which are all unrelated processes in cellular biology.Rate this question:

Which organelle is responsible for storage?
-
Vacuole
-
Endoplasmic reticulum
-
Golgi complex
-
Mitochondria
Correct Answer
A. VacuoleExplanation
The vacuole is responsible for storage in a cell. It is a membrane-bound organelle that stores various substances such as water, ions, nutrients, and waste products. Vacuoles are found in both plant and animal cells, but they are larger and more prominent in plant cells. They play a crucial role in maintaining cell turgidity, regulating osmotic balance, storing pigments, and storing toxins or waste materials. Therefore, the vacuole is the correct answer for the organelle responsible for storage.Rate this question:

The following is a picture of a cell. What type of cell is it?
-
Plant cell
-
Animal cell
-
Prokaryotic cell
-
Bacterium
Correct Answer
A. Animal cellExplanation
The given picture is of an animal cell. This can be determined by looking at the presence of a nucleus, which is a defining characteristic of animal cells. Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, which are not visible in the picture. Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, do not have a distinct nucleus like animal cells. Therefore, the correct answer is animal cell.Rate this question:
