Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that-
A
eukaryotic cells have a smaller cell nucleus
B
prokaryotic cells are always much larger
C
prokaryotic cells do not have a plasma membrane
D
eukaryotic cells have a more complex cellular organization
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Cell division is simpler in prokaryotes than eukaryotes because prokaryotic cells themselves are simpler. Prok aryotic cells have a single c ircular chromosome, no nucleus, and few other organelles. Eukaryotic cells, in contrast, have multiple chromosomes contained within a nucleus and many other organelles.
