Answer 1

answer: d

I think d is correct

Answer 2

Answer:

D

Explanation:

A is incorrect.

- Vacuoles are what stores waste and food. It can be found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

B is incorrect.
- Eukaryotic cells are mostly multicellular, and according to the Endosymbiotic Theory, eukaryotic cells come from the joining together of many prokaryotic cells. Hence, eukaryotic cells should be bigger than prokaryotic cells instead of being smaller.

C is incorrect.
- Prokaryotic cells are simple with no membrane-bonded organelles. It's the eukaryotic cells that have many organelles.

D is correct.
- Prokaryotic cells don't have a nucleus while eukaryotic cells do, which basically counts as a lining surrounding the genetic materials.
