BSC 108 CERTIFICATION EVALUATION
QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS STUDY GUIDE
●● List three differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Answer: prokaryotic are smaller/ simpler cells while, eukaryotic are
larger and more complex cells.
prokaryotic organelles are not membrane bound, while, eukaryotic cells
do have membrane bound organelles
prokaryotic are found in bacteria and archea and eukaryotic are found in
prosiest, plants, fungi, and animals.
●● What is the function of the plasma membrane?
Answer: protect the cell from its surroundings
●● Name three differences between animal and plant cells.
Answer: Plant cells have central voucules, while animals cells do not.
Plant cells have a cell walls, while while animals cells do not.
Plant cells have chloroplast, while while animals cells do not.
●● What are the two main components of the plasma membrane?
Answer: phospholipids
Proteins
, ●● What is the function of the nucleus?
Answer: To manufacture DNA
●● What is the function of ribosomes?
Answer: make proteins
●● How does DNA control the cell?
Answer: DNA is the code that tells the cell which types of proteins to
make. It is then thse sad proteins that control and regulate cell growth,
division, communication with other cells and most other cellular
functions.
●● What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum?
Answer: Assembles proteins and lipids, and transports
●● What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?
Answer: The golgi apparatus acts to process and package the macro
molecules such as proteins and lipids
●● What is the function of the lysosomes?
Answer: The function of the lysosomes are to remove wast and destroy
