What are the simplest cells in existence?
A
eukaryotic
B
prokaryotic
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells; in addition to the absence of a nucleus, their genomes are less complex and they do not contain cytoplasmic organelles or a cytoskeleton (Table 1.1).

Detailed explanation-2: -Prokaryotes (or Monera) are some of the simplest living things. They are unicellular organisms and they include two major divisions of simple living beings: bacteria, and Archaea. They generally do not have a cell nucleus, nuclear membrane or cell organelles, however a small number of exceptions have been found.

Detailed explanation-3: -Prokaryotic cells: the smallest, simplest cell type. The DNA is not housed within a nucleus. cell walls. Bacteria and archaebacteria are the only prokaryotic organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Prokaryotic cells are represented by modern bacteria and are the simplest type of cell. Prokaryotic cells are small (typically 10, 000 times smaller than eukaryotic cells) and lack membrane-bound internal compartments called organelles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: Prokaryotic cells are so much more simple than eukaryotic cells because they do not have sequestered organelles where metabolic reactions can occur.
