Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Eukaryotic cells are much larger and have more specialized functions than prokaryotic cells because they contain ____, which carry out specialized activities.

A	organelles
B	ribosomes
C	DNA
D	cytoplasm

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes. Each of these organelles performs a specific function critical to the cell’s survival.

Detailed explanation-2: -In addition to a nucleus, eukaryotic cells include other membrane-bound structures called organelles. Organelles allow eukaryotic cells to be more specialized than prokaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The nucleus is the largest organelle in a eukaryotic cell and is considered to be the cell’s control center. It contains most of the cell’s DNA, which makes up chromosomes and is encoded with the genetic instructions for making proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Additionally, eukaryotic cells are more than 100 to 10, 000 times larger than prokaryotic cells and are much more complex. The DNA in eukaryotes is stored within the nucleus, while DNA is stored in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes.
