Activities

1. What types of organelles are present in eukaryotic cells but not present in prokaryotic cells?
   
   
2. Identify an organelle that would be present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

3. Base your answer to the following questions on the chart below that lists four organelles that are found in a single cell, and on your knowledge of biology.

1. State the name of organelle A.
2. State the name of organelle B.
3. State the name of organelle C.
4. State the name of organelle D.

4. Based on the four organelles present in the cell, this cell would be known as a prokaryotic cell, or a eukaryotic cell? Explain your answer.

5. Write the letter of two of the labeled organelles and explain how the function of the organelle assists in the maintenance of homeostasis.

6. Write the letter of two of the labeled organelles and explain how they are related to a system in the human body that performs a function similar to that of the organelle.\
