What is prokaryotic cell?
Small and simple cells e.g bacteria.

What is the function of a nucleus?
Contains the genetic material and controls all the activities of the cell.
7 of 17
What is the function of cytoplasm?
Is a gel-like substance where most of the chemical reactions happen. It contains enzymes which control the chemical reactions.

What is the function of mitochondria?
This is where most of the reactions for aerobic respiration takes place.

Supports and strengthens the cell (made of cellulose).

What is the function of chloroplasts?
This is where photosynthesis occurs; they also contain a green substance called chlorophyll which absorb the light needed for photosynthesis.
