question 9
which of these best explains the difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes?
eukaryotes have simpler cells and can be either unicellular or multicellular.
eukaryotes have simpler cells and can only be unicellular.
eukaryotes have more complicated cells and can only be multicellular.
eukaryotes have more complex cells and can be either unicellular or multicellular.

Explanation:

Eukaryotes have membrane - bound organelles and a nucleus, making their cells more complex. They can exist as single - celled (e.g., yeast) or multicellular organisms (e.g., plants and animals). Prokaryotes lack a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles and are generally simpler.

Answer:

Eukaryotes have more complex cells and can be either unicellular or multicellular.
