Which of the following statements comparing bacteria and eukaryotes is true?
A
Bacteria are generally larger than eukaryotic cells.
B
Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, whereas bacterial cells do not.
C
Both bacteria and eukaryotes have linear DNA.
D
Bacteria have a nucleus, while eukaryotes do not.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic differences between prokaryotic cells (bacteria) and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells, like bacteria, do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, whereas eukaryotic cells do.
Recall that eukaryotic cells are generally larger and more complex than bacterial cells. Bacteria are typically smaller and simpler in structure.
Recognize that bacterial DNA is usually circular, not linear. In contrast, eukaryotic cells have linear DNA organized into chromosomes within the nucleus.
Identify that eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum, which are absent in bacterial cells.
Conclude that the statement 'Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, whereas bacterial cells do not' is true, as it accurately describes a fundamental difference between these two types of cells.
