The statement that applies to eukaryotic cells but NOT to prokaryotic cells is:

A. Utilize mitochondria during energy production.

Eukaryotic cells contain mitochondria, which are organelles responsible for energy production through processes like cellular respiration. Prokaryotic cells do not have mitochondria; they carry out energy production through different means, such as using the cell membrane for ATP production.
