How does the diameter of a prokaryotic cell typically compare with the diameter of a eukaryotic cell?
A
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are typically the same size, both ranging from 10 to 100 micrometers.
B
Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller, with diameters ranging from 0.1 to 5 micrometers, while eukaryotic cells range from 10 to 100 micrometers.
C
Prokaryotic cells are generally larger, with diameters ranging from 10 to 100 micrometers, while eukaryotic cells range from 0.1 to 5 micrometers.
D
Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller, with diameters ranging from 10 to 100 micrometers, while eukaryotic cells range from 0.1 to 5 micrometers.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus and organelles.
Recall the typical size range for prokaryotic cells, which is generally smaller, ranging from 0.1 to 5 micrometers in diameter.
Recall the typical size range for eukaryotic cells, which is generally larger, ranging from 10 to 100 micrometers in diameter.
Compare the size ranges: Prokaryotic cells are smaller than eukaryotic cells based on their respective diameter ranges.
Use this information to evaluate the given options and identify the correct statement about the size comparison between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
