Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles.
The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles.
The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles.
To get the answer to this question, one can compare the characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are simpler in structure and do not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles. They have a cell membrane on the outside and use DNA as their genetic material. On the other hand, eukaryotic cells are more complex and have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus. They also use DNA as their genetic material.
It is important to note that the given options in the question do not all correctly describe the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The correct option is that prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles, which is a fundamental distinction between the two cell types.
