Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which cells can be described as small and simple?
A
Prokaryote cells
B
Eukaryote cells
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Most prokaryotes are small, single-celled organisms that have a relatively simple structure. Prokaryotic cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, but they have no internal membrane-bound organelles within their cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cell size. Typical prokaryotic cells range from 0.1 to 5.0 micrometers (m) in diameter and are significantly smaller than eukaryotic cells, which usually have diameters ranging from 10 to 100 m.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mycoplasma is the smallest prokaryotic organism (0.15 to 0.35 micrometer) that lacks cell wall but have rigid plasma membrane rich in sterols and lipoglycans.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bacteria are the most common types of prokaryotes. They are very small cells with a simple structure. Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus. This means that their DNA is not enclosed in a membrane inside the cell.
