Which of the following statements are true? a. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms can have two or more cells b. Prokaryotic cells always are unicellular, but eukaryotic organisms are always multicellular c. Prokaryotic cells always are unicellular, but eukaryotic can be either unicellular or multicellular
What is the definition of a prokaryotic cell? And what is the definition of a eukaryotic cell? Remember: 'uni' in unicellular means one or single. On the other hand, 'multi' in multicellular means more than one. Found out how these relate to the structure of a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell.
a. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms can have two or more cells. Prokaryotes (pro-KAR-ee-ot-es) (from Old Greek pro- before + karyon nut or kernel, referring to the cell nucleus, + suffix -otos, pl. -otes; also spelled "procaryotes") are organisms without a cell nucleus (= karyon), or any other membrane-bound organelles. Most are unicellular, but some prokaryotes are multicellular). Eukaryotes (IPA: [juːˈkæɹɪɒt]) are organisms whose cells are organized into complex structures by internal membranes and a cytoskeleton. The most characteristic membrane bound structure is the nucleus. This feature gives them their name, (also spelled "eucaryote,") which comes from the Greek ευ, meaning good/true, and κάρυον, meaning nut, refering to the nucleus. Animals, plants, fungi, and protists are eukaryotes. http://www.diffen.com/difference/Eukaryotic_Cell_vs_Prokaryotic_Cell
