Cell Structure and Compartments - Medical Science

Q1:

Eukaryotic cells are more efficient than prokaryotes because their internal compartmentalization

A makes each compartment nutritionally independent of all others

B allows for specialization through the subdivision of particular tasks

C allows for specialization through merging of different tasks

D reduces overall cell size

ANS:B - allows for specialization through the subdivision of particular tasks

Since prokaryotic cells are underdeveloped they are do not have cell organelles with certain tasks assigned to them. Eukaryotic cells, on the other hand, have specific organelles for each task making them more efficient.
