Please answer the following three essay questions.

  1. All living cells, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic, have thefollowing cell structures: plasma membrane, cytosol, ribosomes, andat least one chromosome. Choose any one of these. Describe itsbasic structure (including molecular composition) as well as thefunction. Explain why a cell could not exist without thefunction(s) performed by this cell structure.
  2. Cells can be categorized as either prokaryotic or eukaryotic.Only bacterial cells are prokaryotic. For question two, answer anyone of the following comparison questions. Be sure to compare bothmolecular (physical) structure and function in each answer.
    1. Compare the nucleoid area (prokaryotic) to a nucleus(eukaryotic)? How do they differ; how are they similar?
    2. Compare the bacterial flagellum (prokaryotic) to an animal cellflagellum (eukaryotic)? How do they differ; how are theysimilar?
    3. Compare a bacterial cell wall (prokaryotic) to a plant cellwall (eukaryotic)? How do they differ; how are they similar?
  3. Eukaryotic cells (in plants, animals, fungi, and algae) arebigger than prokaryotic (bacterial) cells. This bigger size allowseukaryotic cells to have more structural complexity.

Choose any one of the following eukaryotic cell structures for ashort essay:

  • Mitochondrion
  • Cytoskeleton
  • Golgi apparatus
  • Endoplasmic reticulum
  • Lysosome
  • Chloroplast (found only in photosynthetic cells)

In your answer, describe its basic structure (includingmolecular composition) as well as the function. Why is the functionimportant to keeping the cell alive?
Provide references in APA format. This includes a reference listand in-text citations for references used throughout theassignment.

1. What do you think the cell structure that Robert Hooke observed under his

microscope was? What part of the plant cell was this?

2. List the organelles not present in prokaryotic cells.

3. We know that in eukaryotic cells, metabolic activity and synthesis happened

in membrane bound organelles. Does this mean prokaryotic cells do not

have metabolic activity? Explain your answer and state where you think this

process might occur in a prokaryotic cell.

4. There were no chloroplast in the onion cell preparation, yet onions are

plants. Explain why.

5. List three similarities and three differences between plant and animal cells

that you observed today.

Answer the two questions

1. What are the three tenets of cell theory?

2. Answer the following questions concerning cell size:

a. What metric unit do we use to describe the size of cells?

b. Are prokaryotic cells or eukaryotic cells generally larger? Give an average size range for a prokaryotic cell and for a eukaryotic cell.

c. Why are cells small?
