Question

Which of the following IS NOT an accurate description of prokaryotic organisms?

Prokaryotes are either bacteria or archaea
Prokaryotes can be multicellular.
Prokaryotes lack a true nucleus
Prokaryotes have cell membranes and cell walls

Answer 1

Prokaryotes can be multicellular.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the most basic level of classification, cells can be either prokaryotic or eukaryotic.

Prokaryotic cells are only bacteria or archaea, eukaryotic cells are fungi, protists, plants and animals.

The key difference is that eukaryotes have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotes lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotes are simple and are only ever unicellular.
