Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Multicellular organisms are all eukaryotes while all unicellular are prokaryotes? TRUE or FALSE?
A
True
B
False
C
maybe
D
I am not sure!
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Many people think that eukaryotes are all multicellular, but this is not the case. While prokaryotes are always unicellular organisms, eukaryotes can be either unicellular or multicellular. For example, most protists are single-celled eukaryotes!

Detailed explanation-2: -Prokaryotes are always unicellular, while eukaryotes are often multi-celled organisms. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: There cannot be multicellular prokaryotes because prokaryotes are strictly unicellular organisms. Prokaryotes are simple, single-celled organisms such as bacteria and archaea. There are no multicellular prokaryotes in existence.

Detailed explanation-4: -Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. There is a wide range of eukaryotic organisms, including all animals, plants, fungi, and protists, as well as most algae. Eukaryotes may be either single-celled or multicellular.

Detailed explanation-5: -A multicellular organism is always eukaryote and so has cell nuclei.
