Question

How is a bacterial cell different from an onion peel cell?

• A. Bacterial cell- contains only membranous organelles, Onion peel cell- no membranous organelle
• B. Bacterial cell- prokaryote, Onion peel cell- eukaryote
• C. Onion peel cell- prokaryote, Bacterial cell- eukaryote
• D. Bacterial cell - contains some membranous organelles, Onion peel cell - only membranous organelle

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Bacterial cells are primitive cells hence, called as prokaryotic cells. They do not possess membrane bound organelles as mitochondria, lysosomes, etc. They also do not have well-defined membrane bound nucleus.
Onion peel cell is an eukaryotic cell with well-defined membrane bound nucleus, membrane bound organelles like mitochondria, vacuole, etc.

So, the correct answer is 'Bacterial cell- prokaryote, onion peel cell- eukaryote'
