Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eukaryotes have compartmentalization through the presence of membrane-bound organelles, which allows for specialization of different cellular functions. This can lead to an increase in overall cell size compared to prokaryotic cells, which lack these membrane-bound compartments.
