Questions

1. Define (2 marks)
● Define: "Define the term cell and describe the features
that are common to all cells."
○ 1 mark for a correct definition of a cell.
○ 1 mark for mentioning two features common to all
cells (e.g., plasma membrane, genetic material).
2. Distinguish (2 marks)
● Distinguish: "Distinguish between prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells based on their structural features."
○ 1 mark for identifying a key feature of prokaryotic
cells.
○ 1 mark for identifying a key feature of eukaryotic
cells.
3. Compare (4 marks)
● Compare: "Compare the similarities and differences in
cellular structures between plant and animal cells."
○ 2 marks for identifying similarities (e.g., both have
a plasma membrane and nucleus).
○ 2 marks for identifying differences (e.g., plant cells
have a cell wall and chloroplasts, which animal cells
do not).
4. Outline (2 marks)
● Outline: "Outline the main features common to all cells,
including prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells."
○ 1 mark for naming a feature common to all cells
(e.g., ribosomes).
○ 1 mark for briefly describing its role.
5. Explain (4 marks)
● Explain: "Explain why some cellular features, such as
the plasma membrane, are common to all cells, while
others, like organelles, vary between cell types."
○ 2 marks for explaining the role of the plasma
membrane and why it is essential to all cells.
○ 2 marks for discussing the role of organelles and
why their presence varies between prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells.
6. Discuss (6 marks)
● Discuss: "Discuss the significance of structural
differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in
terms of their functions and evolutionary adaptations."
○ 2 marks for identifying key structural differences.
○ 2 marks for discussing functional implications of
these differences.
○ 2 marks for discussing evolutionary adaptations or
significance.
7. Describe (3 marks)
● Describe: "Describe the features that are shared by all
cells and explain how these features contribute to basic
cellular functions."
○ 1 mark for naming a shared feature.
○ 2 marks for explaining how the features (e.g.,
ribosomes or plasma membrane) contribute to
cellular functions like protein synthesis or
maintaining homeostasis.
8. Analyse (6 marks)
● Analyse: "Analyse how the differences in cellular
structures between prokaryotic, eukaryotic, plant, and
animal cells affect their function and specialization."
○ 2 marks for identifying differences between
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
○ 2 marks for identifying differences between plant
and animal cells.
○ 2 marks for analysing how these structural
differences affect their function and specialization.
9. Compare and Contrast (4 marks)
● Compare and Contrast: "Compare and contrast the
features of animal, plant, and bacterial cells, focusing on
both common structures and those that differ."
○ 2 marks for discussing common features (e.g., cell
membrane, ribosomes).
○ 2 marks for contrasting features (e.g., cell wall in
plants and bacteria, absence in animal cells).
10. Evaluate (6 marks)
● Evaluate: "Evaluate the importance of the nucleus and
membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotic cells
compared to the simpler structure of prokaryotic cells."
○ 2 marks for identifying the role of the nucleus and
membrane-bound organelles.
○ 2 marks for discussing the advantages of having
these structures.
○ 2 marks for evaluating the advantages and
limitations of the simpler structure of prokaryotic
cells.

● State: "State two features that are present in all cells and
explain their roles."

plasma membrane, ribosomes).
12. Identify (2 marks)
● Identify: "Identify two structural features unique to plant
cells and explain how they differ from animal cells."
○ 1 mark for identifying a structural feature unique to
plant cells (e.g., cell wall).
○ 1 mark for explaining how that feature differs from
animal cells.
