1. You look into a light microscope 
and view an unknown cell. What might you see that would tell you whether the cell is prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

a. a rigid cell wall   
b. a nucleus   
c. plasma membrane  
d. ribosomes


2. Which are typically smaller?

a. prokaryotic cells      
b. eukaryotic cells


3. Which domain is composed of cells that have a membrane bound nucleus?

a. Eukarya          b. Archaea            c. Eubacteria


4. Which eukaryotic cellular organelle produced lysosomes? 

a. rough ER     b. Golgi apparatus     c. smooth ER    
                      d. mitochondria


5. The cells of plant and bacteria will NOT explode in a hypotonic environment because:

a. Only blood cells explode.
b. Plant and bacteria have a cell wall that protects them from     taking on too much water.
c.Only prokaryotic cells explode.
d.Plants and bacteria are more evolutionarily ancient and that     makes them stronger.
