Question:

Which of the following statement is NOT correct regarding the prokaryotic cell? 

Options:

They have only very small ribosomes as organelles

Membrane bound cell organelles are present

Their chromosomes are composed of only nucleic acid.

Their size is generally in the range of 1-10 μm

Correct Answer:

Membrane bound cell organelles are present

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - Membrane bound cell organelles are present

The correct statement among the options provided is: Membrane-bound cell organelles are present.

Prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, or Golgi apparatus, unlike eukaryotic cells. Instead, their internal structure is relatively simpler, with their genetic material (DNA) typically found in a region called the nucleoid, which lacks a membrane.

Therefore, the correct option is that membrane-bound cell organelles are not present in prokaryotic cells.
