Which of the following comparisons between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is incorrect? The lack of organelles in prokaryotes means that they are structurally less complex than eukaryotes. The lack of internal membranes means that prokaryotes cannot compartmentalize function to the same extent as eukaryotes. All membrane function in prokaryotes is accomplished in the plasma membrane, while in eukaryotes, these functions are more distributed among the organelles. The specialization of function in organelles suggests that eukaryotes will contain a wider variety of phospholipids than prokaryotes. The lack of organelles in prokaryotes means that the basic cellular functions are different in prokaryotes than in eukaryotes.

Answer:

Option E, he lack of organelles in prokaryotes means that the basic cellular functions are different in prokaryotes than in eukaryotes

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic cellular functions are common in all the organism found on this planet.

All the cells consume nutrients, produce energy, excrete waste, reproduce and die after a certain period of time.

These preliminary functions does not depend on the type and structure of cells. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells irrespective of their structure carry out similar functions.

Thus, Option E is correct.
