Cell Test Review
1. What led to the discovery of cells?
microscope
2. Name the 3 parts to the cell theory.
a. All living things are made up of one or more cells.
b. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in organisms.
c. All cells arise from existing cells.
3. What are the similarities and differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
a. Similarities: cell membrane, cytoplasm, DNA, and ribosomes
b. Differences: prokaryotes have no membrane-bound organelles, are unicellular; eukaryotes can be
unicellular or multicellular, have DNA in the nucleus, have membrane-bound
