Eukaryotic cells don't have membrane bound organelles.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Eukaryotic cells do have membrane-bound organelles. These organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum, are surrounded by a membrane that separates their internal environment from the rest of the cell. This membrane allows for compartmentalization and specialized functions within the cell. Therefore, the statement that eukaryotic cells don't have membrane-bound organelles is false.Rate this question:
