    Study Guide Questions

    1. Be able to describe characteristics that are shared by ALL CELLS. (In other words, what is The Cell Theory?)
    2. Compare and contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
    3. Compare and contrast plant cells, fungal cells and animal cells.
    4. Label the cell parts shown on this animal cell. Contrast this with what you’d expect to see on a plant cell.
