Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the key differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do.
Understand that prokaryotic cells generally lack membrane-bound organelles, whereas eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus.
Recognize that eukaryotic cells are typically larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells, which are usually smaller and simpler in structure.
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells can have a cell wall, although the composition and presence of the cell wall can vary between different organisms.
Evaluate the statements given in the problem to determine which one is false based on the characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The false statement is that prokaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells do not.
