Most organisms can be divided into two categories - prokaryotes and eukaryotes. What is the main difference between these two ca
tegories? A. Prokaryotes do not possess any means of locomotion and are thus unable to move.
B. Eukaryotes are found in all of the six major taxonomic kingdoms.
C. Eukaryotes are living organisms whereas prokaryotes include some nonliving matter.
D. Prokaryotes do not possess a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelles.
The correct answer is option D. "Prokaryotes do not possess a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelles".
Explanation:
Most organisms fit under the category of prokaryotes and eukaryotes, with each category having its own characteristics. One main difference between these two categories is that prokaryotes do not possess a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotes have adapted to a more simple inner cell's structure than the eukaryotes, having their genetic material in the cytoplasm ready for encoding the proteins needed at the moment.
