Multiple Choice
What is the main structural difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?
A
Prokaryotic cells have mitochondria, while eukaryotic cells do not.
B
Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not.
C
Eukaryotic cells have a cell wall, while prokaryotic cells do not.
D
Prokaryotic cells have chloroplasts, while eukaryotic cells do not.
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the key structural components of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
Understand that eukaryotic cells are characterized by the presence of a nucleus, which houses the cell's genetic material.
Recognize that prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus; instead, their genetic material is located in a region called the nucleoid.
Note that eukaryotic cells often contain membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, while prokaryotic cells do not.
Conclude that the main structural difference is the presence of a nucleus in eukaryotic cells, which is absent in prokaryotic cells.
