Question

A biology student views several different prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells under a microscope. How do the prokaryotic cells appear different from the eukaryotic cells? Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A The prokaryotic cells have mitochondria. (Choice B) B The eukaryotic cells have cytosol. (Choice C) C Eukaryotic cells have ribosomes and prokaryotic cells do not. (Choice D) D The prokaryotic cells are smaller than the eukaryotic cells.

Answer 1

Answer:

The prokaryotic cells are smaller than the eukaryotic cells.

Explanation:

Its just the simple process of elimination. Prokaryotic cells lack of a lot of things, including mitochondria, so it couldn't be option C. BOTH prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have cytosol AND ribosomes, so the answer couldn't be D or A, and you're left with option B. Meaning option B is the correct choice.
