Chapter 18.3, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The evolutionary processes that might have account for prokaryotes having smaller genome than the eukaryotes.
Introduction:
The eukaryotes are the organisms that have a true nucleus which means that their nucleus is surrounded by a membrane. Their other cell organelles are also membrane bound. They can be single celled or multicellular. The prokaryotes are the organisms that lack membrane bound organelles such as bacteria.

Membrane surface area and cell volume are two physical variables that are relevant in explaining the difference in size and complexity between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Which of the following statements about these variables is correct? The ratio of plasma membrane area to total cell volume increased in early eukaryotes which allowed for greater morphological complexity. The total membrane area dedicated to oxidative phosphorylation is greater in eukaryotes. Although physically smaller, prokaryotic cells have more total cell volume than a typical eukaryotic cell. In prokaryotic cells, the membrane location of ATP synthase is the same as that for glucose import. A. 1,2 and 3 B. 1 and 3 C. 2 and 4 D. 4 only E. All of 1,2,3 and 4 are correctarrow_forward
