Question

Transcribed Image Text:A group of students was asked to list some of the similarities and differences
between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. They created the table shown below.
The students made a mistake in creating their table. Which statement best describes
their mistake?
Comparison of Prokaryotic Cells and Eukaryotic Cells
Similarities
Differences
DNA present in both
nucleus present in eukaryotic cells only
cytoplasm present in both
membrane-bound organelles present in eukaryotic cells only
ribosomes present in both
plasma membrane present in eukaryotic cells only

Transcribed Image Text:Both prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells are enclosed by a plasma membrane.
Both prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells possess a nucleus
Eukaryotic cells possess ribosomes, while prokaryotic cells do not.
There are no mistakes.

Questions that refer to Cell #1, Cell #2, or Cell #3 are indicating that you should look at the following image to help answer the question. Cell #1 Cell #2 Cell #3 Cell membrane Nucleus - Nucleus DNA Cell Wall Cell Wall Mitochondrion : Cll Mitochondrion membrane Cll Chloroplast membranearrow_forwardWhile eukaryotic cells are generally larger than prokaryotic cells, metabolic requirements place upper limits on how large eukaryotic cells can become. Which of the following statements does not accurately describe this? As multicellular organisms grow in size, they do not have larger cells; rather, they have a larger number of cells. As a cell increases in size, the surface area grows faster than volume. If a cell is too large, there will not be enough surface area for the exchange or elimination of oxygen, nutrients, and wastes. The surface area to volume ratio must remain as large as possiblearrow_forward
