    The key takeaways are that the passage discusses the structure of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, the endosymbiotic theory of how eukaryotic cells evolved, and the differences between plant and animal cells.

    Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus enclosed in a nuclear envelope and various membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic DNA is located in the nucleoid, while eukaryotic DNA is packaged into chromosomes within the nucleus.

    A lysosome is a membrane-bound organelle that contains hydrolytic enzymes. Its function is to digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria.

    Cell Structure

    1. a) Figure 1 below shows a eukaryotic cell taken from an animal.

    i. Label A and B. (2 marks)

    Fig. 1

    ii. Organelle B is found in high concentration in muscle. Explain why? (3


    marks)

    b) Suggest two ways in which a prokaryotic cell would look different to


    that shown in figure 1? (2 marks)

    c) Identify 3 differences between plant and animal cells. (3 marks)

    2. Prokaryotic cells and Eukaryotic cells have a number of distinct


    differences in their structure. However one theory suggests that
    Eukaryotic cells have evolved from endosymbiosis with prokaryotic
    cells, where smaller prokaryotic cells would live in the larger prokaryotic
    cell and eventually form the chloroplasts and mitochondria over many
    years of evolution that give us today’s eukaryotic cells.

    a) By comparing and contrasting prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells,


    evaluate this theory? (3 marks)

    b) A lysosome is found in eukaryotic cells.

    i. Describe the structure of the lysosome? (2 Marks)

    ii. What is the function of the lysosome? (1 mark)

    3. DNA is the carrier of inheritable genetic information present in almost


    every living organism.

    a) How is chromosomal DNA stored in prokaryotic cells? (1 mark)

    b) What is a plasmid and what cell type is it found it? (3 marks)

    c) Describe the structure of the eukaryotic nucleus. (3 marks)

    4. Years of evolution led to the emergence of multicellular organisms,


    which are comprised of specialised cells that are adapted to carry out a
    particular function.

    a) How have plant cells adapted so that they do not burst under
    hypotonic conditions? (1 mark)

    b) Cells lining the trachea have evolved in such a way that they have cilia
    on their surface. What is the purpose of these cilia and why are they
    advantageous to the organism? (2mark)

    c) Identify two ways in which a cell from the duodenum may be


    different from a cell from a quadriceps muscle and how these
    adaptations allow it to carry out its functions. (4 marks)

    d) What is the definition of a tissue? (2 marks)
