Prokaryotic cells are generally __________ and multiply _________ than the eukaryotic cells.

A

smaller, slower

B

larger, slower

C

smaller, faster

D

larger, faster

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Prokaryotic cell is usually small `(0.1-5.0 mu m)` in size whereas eukaryotic cell size is comparatively larger `(5-100 mu m)`. Prokaryotic cells multiply very rapidly by asexual mean like binary fission, sporulation etc.
