Multiple Choice
In the context of prokaryotes vs. eukaryotes, which type of cell has membrane-bound organelles?
A
Eukaryotic cells
B
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
C
Neither prokaryotic nor eukaryotic cells
D
Prokaryotic cells
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the definition of membrane-bound organelles. These are specialized structures within a cell that are enclosed by lipid bilayer membranes, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum.
Step 2: Recall the basic differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus and various membrane-bound organelles.
Step 3: Identify examples of membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes, which are absent in prokaryotic cells.
Step 4: Recognize that prokaryotic cells have simpler internal structures and do not contain membrane-bound organelles; their cellular functions occur in the cytoplasm or at the cell membrane.
Step 5: Conclude that only eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, making the correct answer 'Eukaryotic cells.'
