Question

• Eukaryotic cells do not have ribosomes but prokaryotic cells do have ribosomes.
• Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles, whereas eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles.
• Eukaryotic cells are generally smaller than prokaryotic cells.
• Prokaryotic cells contain a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus.

Answer 1

The correct statement is: Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles, whereas eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles.

To clarify the incorrect statements:

• Eukaryotic cells do have ribosomes, as do prokaryotic cells.
• Eukaryotic cells are generally larger than prokaryotic cells.
• Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus; instead, they have a nucleoid region where their genetic material is located, while eukaryotic cells do contain a nucleus.
