The question given is incomplete.
The options of the asked question is missing. So, the options are given below:
Which of the following statements best explains this difference?
1. Eukaryotic cells have less DNA than prokaryotic cells.
2. Prokaryotic organisms are typically multicellular while eukaryotic organisms are unicellular.
3. Eukaryotic cells are more structurally complex than prokaryotic cells
ANSWER:
1. Prokaryotic cells are small in size and are quite simple so they can divide very fast in less time. Whereas, eukaryotic cells are bigger and are complex containing many different organelles and hence they need more time to divide.
2. Some prokaryotic cells are cells of bacteria, algae, etc. And eukaryotic cells includes: Fungi, Protozoa, human cells, etc.
3. Eukaryotic cells are quite simple as they do not have membrane and other membrane surrounding structures called organelles. On the other hand, prokaryotes have organelles that are surrounded by membrane.
4. Organelles like mitochondria, chloroplast, Golgi bodies, etc, are not found in prokaryotes but these are found in eukaryotes.
5. Ribosome is the only organelle which is found both in these cells- prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
