Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
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 like plant cell and animal cells contain a well defined nucleus and have all the membrane bound organelles. E.g., Golgi bodies, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc. Whereas prokaryotic cells like bacterial cells do not contain membrane bound cell organelles.

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 are surrounded by a plasma membrane, but they have no internal membrane-bound organelles within their cytoplasm. The absence of a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles differentiates prokaryotes from another class of organisms called eukaryotes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ribosomes are found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Components of Prokaryotic Cells A prokaryotic cell is a simple, single-celled (unicellular) organism that lacks a nucleus, or any other membrane-bound organelle.
