Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is the most significant difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
A
Prokaryotic cells have a cell membrane; eukaryotic cells do not.
B
Prokaryotic cells possess ribosomes; eukaryotic cells do not.
C
Eukaryotic cells have DNA; prokaryotic cell do not.
D
Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles; prokaryotic cells do not.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The primary distinction between these two types of organisms is that eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not.

Detailed explanation-2: -Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles (such as the nucleus and mitochondria), while prokaryotic cells do not. DNA in eukaryotic cells is found inside the nucleus, while DNA in prokaryotic cells is located in the cytoplasm. Eukaryotic cells are generally larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘ Eukaryotes cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and prokaryote cell lacks a membrane-bound nucleus’.

Detailed explanation-4: -Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not. Differences in cellular structure of prokaryotes and eukaryotes include the presence of mitochondria and chloroplasts, the cell wall, and the structure of chromosomal DNA.
