Which statement accurately compares eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells?

Question

Eukaryotic cells replicate faster than prokaryotic cells.

Only prokaryotic cells lack outer membranes and cell walls.

Only prokaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles.

Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells.

Answer 1

The statement that accurately compares eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells is:

Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells.

Eukaryotic cells have a more complex structure, which includes membrane-bound organelles (such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum), while prokaryotic cells do not have these organelles. The other statements provided are not accurate comparisons.
