Which of the following represents a major difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?
A)Prokaryotes,not eukaryotes,have cell walls.
B)Eukaryotic cells tend to have much more extensive inner membrane systems and larger numbers of intracellular organelles than prokaryotes.
C)Prokaryotes are unable to carry out aerobic respiration,a process that requires a complex inner-membrane system.
D)Prokaryotes are a more homogenous group of organisms than eukaryotes,which include protozoa,plants,and animals.

Eukaryotic cells have a more complex structure, with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles and have a simpler structure. While some prokaryotes may have a cell wall, not all do, and some eukaryotes such as plants also have cell walls. Prokaryotes can carry out aerobic respiration, but they do not have the same complex inner-membrane system as eukaryotes. The grouping of prokaryotes and eukaryotes does not necessarily relate to their differences in structure and function.
