Question

Which statement best describes a difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells? *

1 point

A The presence of both DNA and ribosomes in prokaryotic cells indicates that they are more complex than eukaryotic cells.

B The larger size of prokaryotic cells indicates that they are more complex than eukaryotic cells.

C The presence of membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotic cells indicates that they are more complex than prokaryotic cells.

D The larger size of eukaryotic cells indicates that they

Answer 1

 The presence of membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotic cells indicates that they are more complex than prokaryotic cells.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer will be option C.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are the single-celled organisms of domain bacteria and archaea  which lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelle while eukaryotic cells are the organisms which contains a well defined nucleus and other membrane bound organelles.

The fundamental difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is the presence of DNA(genetic material) in a membrane-bound organelle called nucleus which is absent in prokaryotes where genetic material is stored in an area called nucleoid which is not surrounded by the nuclear membrane.

The compartmentalisation of DNA confers stability to the cell as genetic material is protected from the external bodies and injuries.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
