Question

Eukaryotic cells can complete tasks such as digesting and storing food and ridding the cell of waste products because they contain an elaborate system of internal membranes and compartments. This compartmentalization is lacking in ?

A. fungi
B. protists
C. prokaryotes
D. plants

Answer 1

Answer: c. Prokaryotes

Answer 2

The compartmentalization of function is lacking in prokaryotes (Option C).

• In general, prokaryotic cells are recognized to be smaller and also less complex than eukaryotic cells such as plant cells, fungi cells, protist cells and animal cells.

• Procaryotic cells (i.e., bacteria and archaea) do not have internal membrane-bound organelles (e.g., lysosomes and mitochondria).

• Moreover, prokaryotic cells neither contain cell nuclei, thereby the genetic material (DNA) is located in a region of the cytoplasm called nucleoplasm.

In conclusion, the compartmentalization of function is lacking in prokaryotes (Option C).
