Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller than eukaryotic cells,
Prokaryotic cells are more complex than eukaryotic cells.
Which contains a nucleus?
bacteria
eukaryotes
prokaryotes
viruses
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
