True or False:

Prokaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria and an endoplasmic reticulum.

Correct Answer

False

Explanation

False. Prokaryotic cells are defined by the absence of membrane-bound organelles. They have no mitochondria, no endoplasmic reticulum, no Golgi apparatus, and no membrane-bound nucleus. Their internal organization is much simpler than that of eukaryotic cells.
