Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes

Why are prokaryotic cells considered less complex than eukaryotic cells?

• because they contain membrane bound organelles but the nuclear body is not bound by a membrane

• because they contain membrane bound organelles and the nuclear body is bound by a membrane

• because the nuclear body is not bound by a membrane and has one circular chromosome

• because the nuclear body is bound by a membrane and has one circular chromosome

What is the major difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Eukaryotic cells only have a flagellum.

• Prokaryotic cells do not have a cell membrane.

• Eukaryotic cells do not have membrane bound structures.

• Prokaryotic cells do not have membrane bound structures.

Which statement represents and accurate comparison between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Prokaryotic cells are larger than eukaryotic cells.

• Prokaryotic cells have membrane bound organelles, eukaryotic cells do not.

• Prokaryotic cells are members of protista and fungi kingdoms, eukaryotic cells are members of archaea and bacteria kingdoms.

• Prokaryotic cells contain spiral DNA and no nucleus, eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus and linear DNA.
