Answer: True

Explanation:

The prokaryotic cells are much smaller and simple than the eukaryotic cells. The prokaryotic cells are structurally more simple and small in size as compared to the eukaryotic cells. Due to the small size of the cells, their surface area to volume ratio is greater as compared to the eukayotic cells.

The large surface to volume ratio as seen in the smaller prokaryotic cells facilitates the intake of nutrients easily and distributed to any part of the cell. However, in the large eukaryotic cell, the surface area of the cell is limited as compared to the volume means the nutrients cannot be rapidly diffuse to all the parts of the cell.  

As a result of this the eukaryotic cells need a variety of specialized internal organelles to conduct the metabolism, transport the chemicals to the cells and provide energy to the cell.

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes and eukaryotes shows various similarities as well as differences among themselves. The eukaryotes have well defined nucleus whereas such nucleus is absent in prokaryotes.

Prokaryotes are much smaller in size than eukaryotic cells. The small area has large surface area to volume ratio. This ration helps in the process of diffusion and metabolism in prokaryotes. Due to their small size, prokaryotes have large surface area to volume ratio than eukaryotic cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).
