Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Compared to the eukaryotic cell, prokaryotic cells are
A
More complex
B
Less complex
C
Full of membrane-bound organelles
D
Very large
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eukaryotic cells are characterised by the presence of a well-defined nucleus and the membrane-bound organelles. They are larger and much more complex than prokaryotic cells which lack a well-defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Two examples of eukaryotic cells are plant and animal cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike eukaryotic cells, prokaryote cells lack membrane-bound organelles. However, whereas prokaryote cells are less structurally complex than eukaryotes, they are more chemically complex, since all of the prokaryote cell’s biomolecules are floating around together.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Prokaryotic cells are very simple and primitive. They have no true nucleus, and have no membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotes simply have a cell membrane that encloses the contents, often a cell wall around the cell membrane, genetic information and ribosomes to make proteins all inside the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-5: -Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells. They all have a cell membrane, ribosomes, and DNA as prokaryotic cells do. However, the DNA of eukaryotic cells does not float freely in the cytoplasm.
