What are the two main differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
A
Prokaryotic cells have multiple chromosomes, while eukaryotic cells have a single circular chromosome.
B
Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus and are larger than eukaryotic cells.
C
Eukaryotic cells lack a cell membrane, while prokaryotic cells have one.
D
Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have both.
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the key structural differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are generally simpler and smaller, while eukaryotic cells are more complex and larger.
Understand that prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. Their genetic material is located in a region called the nucleoid, which is not enclosed by a membrane.
Recognize that eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus, which is a membrane-bound structure that contains the cell's genetic material.
Note that prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, which are present in eukaryotic cells.
Summarize the main differences: Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have both a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
