Which of the following statements is true regarding prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
A
Eukaryotic cells are generally smaller than prokaryotic cells.
B
Prokaryotic cells have a complex cytoskeleton, while eukaryotic cells do not.
C
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles.
D
Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are simpler and generally smaller, lacking a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells are more complex, larger, and have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Evaluate the first statement: 'Eukaryotic cells are generally smaller than prokaryotic cells.' This is incorrect because eukaryotic cells are typically larger than prokaryotic cells.
Evaluate the second statement: 'Prokaryotic cells have a complex cytoskeleton, while eukaryotic cells do not.' This is incorrect because eukaryotic cells have a complex cytoskeleton, while prokaryotic cells have a simpler structure.
Evaluate the third statement: 'Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles.' This is incorrect because only eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles.
Evaluate the fourth statement: 'Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus.' This is correct because prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, whereas eukaryotic cells do.
