Cell Biology
Eukaryotes and prokaryotes
- 3 things to know
- Biology Paper 1
Overview
The features shared by plant and animal cells, what makes a cell eukaryotic or prokaryotic, how bacterial DNA, plasmids and the cell wall are arranged, and sizes in standard form.

Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What three features are found in both plant and animal cells?
Model answer
A cell membrane, cytoplasm, and genetic material held inside a nucleus.
- 2
What name is given to cells whose genetic material is enclosed in a nucleus?

- 4
Where in a plant or animal cell is the genetic material kept?
Model answer
Inside the nucleus, which encloses it.
- 5
What type of cell is a bacterial cell?
Model answer
A prokaryotic cell.
- 6
How does the size of a bacterial cell compare with the size of a plant or animal cell?
