1. What is the difference between a prokaryotic organism and a eukaryotic organism?

2. Explain why multicellular organisms are more complicated and have more diverse offspring than unicellular organisms.

3. How are autotrophs different from heterotrophs?

4. In what ways do the characteristics of organisms determine their taxonomic classification?

Answers:1. Prokaryotic organisms do not have a membrane bound nucleus, where as eukaryotic organisms have a membrane bound nucleus.2. Multicellular organisms are more complicated because their DNA is more diverse due to the fact that they reproduce sexually which results in more diverse offspring, where as single celled organisms reproduce asexually and have uniform offspring.3. Autotrophs make their own food where as heterotrophs hunt for their food.4. Organisms are classified based on the complexity of their cellular organization, their ability to obtain nutrients, and their mode of reproduction.
