Question

which of the following correctly identifies a difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?

prokaryotic cells are larger and more complex than eukaryotic cells, which are smaller and simpler.

eukaryotic cells have ribosomes, but prokaryotic cells lack ribosomes entirely.

prokaryotic cells lack membrane - bound organelles, such as the mitochondria, while eukaryotic cells contain these organelles.

which cellular organelle matches this description: a series of membranous sacs that help detoxify harmful compounds like alcohol and also builds lipid molecules.

lysosome

rough er

smooth er

ribosome

golgi apparatus

Explanation:

• First question:
• Prokaryotic cells are smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have ribosomes. Prokaryotic cells reproduce through binary fission, while eukaryotic cells reproduce through mitosis (among other methods). Prokaryotic cells lack membrane - bound organelles like mitochondria, which eukaryotic cells have.
• Second question:
• Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes. Rough ER has ribosomes attached and is involved in protein synthesis. Smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification (e.g., of alcohol). Ribosomes are for protein synthesis. The Golgi Apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids.

Answer:

• First question: Prokaryotic cells lack membrane - bound organelles, such as the mitochondria, while eukaryotic cells contain these organelles.
• Second question: Smooth ER.
