Answer:

C. Eukaryotic cells contain organelles that are enclosed in membranes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some of the main differences between eucaryotic and procaryotic cells are listed here (Pro:procaryotic; Eu: eucaryotic) :

  • DNA circular form (Pro), linear form (Eu)
  • DNA location in cytosol (Pro), in nucleus (Eu)
  • Nucleoid with NO membrane bound (Pro), nucleus with membrane bound (Eu)
  • No organels, less complex (Pro), several organels enclosed in membranes, more complex (Eu)
  • Smaller (0.5-100 micrometers) (Pro), larger (10-110 micrometers) (Eu)
  • Small ribosomes (Pro), large ribosomes (Eu)

Considering this we can conclude that the correct answer is c.eukaryotic cells contain organelles that are enclosed in membranes.

I hope you find this information sueful and interesting! Good luck!
