Eukaryotic cells include plants, animals, fungi, and protists. They are larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. The presence of these membranes allows for more compartmentalization in eukaryotic cells than ini prokaryotic cells. Which of these gives support for the statement: Compartmentalization in eukaryotic cells improves the efficiency of cellular processes.

A) Compartmentalization maximizes the surface area where cellular processes can occur.
B) Compartmentalization decreases the surface area to volume ratio in eukaryotic cells.
C) Compartmentalization in eukaryotic cells increases competition, preventing multiple processes from occurring at once.
D) Compartmentalization of eukaryotic cells depends on extracellular membranes what aide in transport of materials and wastes generated in cellular processes, maximizing efficiency.

This is true because you have these foldings of membranes in different organelles in eukaryotics cells where surface area is maximized for maximum efficiency.

Answer:

Compartmentalization maximizes the surface area where cellular process can occur . Thus Option A is the right answer.

Explanation:

Compartmentalization is the process in which the cells are divided into sub units called compartments. Since eukaryotic cells contains several cell components like the mitochondria, lipids, ribosomes etc. They need separate compartments to carry out their specified function efficiently.

Thus when cells are divided into compartments more areas are assigned for each specific function hence compartmentalization maximizes the surface area where the cellular process occur
