Question

Which of the following statements is correct about the lack of organelles in prokaryotes?

• A. The lack of organelles in prokaryotes means that their basic cellular processes are different from eukaryotes.
• B. It suggests that the amount of DNA remains the same throughout the life cycle.
• C. The absence of organelles in prokaryotes means that they cannot perform the function of photosynthesis.
• D. It suggests that they contain more variety of phospholipids in their cell membrane.

Answer 1

The correct option is A The lack of organelles in prokaryotes means that their basic cellular processes are different from eukaryotes.

Prokaryotes are the primitive organisms which lack membrane-bound organelles. The lack of organelles in prokaryotes means that their basic cellular processes are different from eukaryotes. As there are no cellular compartments differentiated, all the cellular processes take place in the cytoplasm.

Hence the correct option is A.
