Which is true of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
A
Prokaryotic cells are larger than eukaryotic cells.
B
Eukaryotic cells do not have nuclei, and prokaryotic cells do have nuclei.
C
Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles, and eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles.
D
Eukaryotic cells are simpler than prokaryotic cells.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles (such as the nucleus and mitochondria), while prokaryotic cells do not. DNA in eukaryotic cells is found inside the nucleus, while DNA in prokaryotic cells is located in the cytoplasm. Eukaryotic cells are generally larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Eukaryotic cells are cells containing membrane-bound organelles and are the basis for both unicellular and multicellular organisms. In contrast, prokaryotic cells do not have any membrane-bound organelles and are always part of unicellular organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Prokaryotic cells have no membrane bound organelles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The following statement is true regarding prokaryotes and eukaryotes: c) Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have ribosomes. Ribosomes are cell organelles that are responsible for the protein synthesis for the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms belonging to the domains Bacteria and Archaea. Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells, have no nucleus, and lack organelles. All prokaryotic cells are encased by a cell wall.
