**Question 14:**

Which statement describes a **difference** between transcription in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?

- In eukaryotes, transcription produces a DNA molecule, while transcription in prokaryotes produces an RNA molecule.
- In eukaryotes, transcription is completed by an RNA polymerase, while transcription in prokaryotes is completed with a DNA polymerase.
- In eukaryotes, transcription produces an RNA molecule, while transcription in prokaryotes produces a DNA molecule.
- In eukaryotes, transcription produces a monocistronic RNA, while transcription in prokaryotes produces a polycistronic RNA.
- In eukaryotes, transcription occurs simultaneously with translation, while transcription in prokaryotes must complete before translation can begin.

**Question 15:**

The most energy-intensive process (i.e., requires the most energy) in a cell is

- DNA replication.
- carbohydrate synthesis.
- lipid catabolism.
- translation.
- transcription.
