Question

Which of the following statements about prokaryotes are FALSE? Select all that apply

Othey contain true organelles
they reproduce sexually
some can perform photosynthesis
some can perform cellular respiration
they are generally smaller than eukaryotic cells

Answer 1

The false statements about prokaryotes are:

1. They contain true organelles. Prokaryotes do not contain true membrane-bound organelles like the mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, or Golgi apparatus found in eukaryotic cells. Instead, they have simpler structures like ribosomes, nucleoid regions, and cell walls.

2. They reproduce sexually. Prokaryotes reproduce asexually through processes like binary fission, not sexually.
