What is the main difference in cellular complexity between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Presence of chloroplasts in prokaryotic cells

• Size of the cells

• Number of chromosomes in the cells

• Presence of a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotic cells

How does the cellular complexity in prokaryotic cells compare to that in eukaryotic cells?

• Prokaryotic cells are less complex than eukaryotic cells.

• Prokaryotic cells have the same level of complexity as eukaryotic cells.

• Prokaryotic cells are more complex than eukaryotic cells.

• Eukaryotic cells are less complex than prokaryotic cells.

What are the similarities in cellular complexity between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria

• Ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes

• Cell wall, chloroplasts, and flagella

• Genetic material, cell membrane, and cytoplasm

How does the complexity of eukaryotic cells contribute to their overall function?

• The complexity hinders the overall function by causing confusion

• The complexity leads to a lack of specialization and limited functions

• The complexity allows for specialized organelles and processes, leading to diverse functions.

• The complexity has no impact on the overall function
