Question

Diametre of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are respectively

• A. $0.2-10\mu m^3$ and $1000-10000\mu m^3$
• B. $03.1-10\mu m^3$ and $100-1000\mu m^3$
• C. $0.1-5.0\mu m^3$ and $3-30\mu m^3$
• D. $0.1-1.0\mu m^3$ and $10-100\mu m^3$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $0.1-1.0\mu m^3$ and $10-100\mu m^3$

Prokaryote is a microscopic single-celled organism which has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles. Prokaryotic cell is the oldest form of life on the earth. Microscopic in size, prokaryotic cells are as small as mitochondria in eukaryotic cells and have diameter ranging from 0.1-10µm. Eukaryotic cell is more developed, advance and complex than prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells are those with the defined nucleus, along with other membrane-bound organelles. Although larger than the prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells are also microscopic in size having diameter ranging from 10-100µm.

So the correct option is 'd'
