Which statement describes an incorrect difference between a plant cell and bacterial cell?
Correct answer: D. None of the above
- A. A bacterial cell has 70S ribosomes, whereas a plant cell has 80S ribosomes.
- B. A bacterial cell divides by binary fission, whereas a plant cell divides by mitosis.
- C. Bacterial cells lack a nuclear membrane, whereas plant cells possess one.
- D. None of the above
Explanation
All of the provided statements accurately represent differences between bacterial and plant cells. Prokaryotic cells like bacteria have 70S ribosomes, lack a nuclear membrane, and divide by binary fission. In contrast, plant cells, which are eukaryotic, have 80S ribosomes, a defined nucleus with a nuclear membrane, and undergo mitosis for cell division. Therefore, the option 'None of the above' is correct because it acknowledges that no incorrect differences are presented in the statements.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
