Membrane-bound organelles have been an important component in the evolution of complex, multicellular organisms. Which of the following best summarizes an advantage of eukaryotic cells having internal membranes?

Summary Submit Skip Question

Organelles like the Lysosome and Mitochondria perform specific reactions. The specific internal conditions, such as pH, in these organelles, increase metabolic efficiency.

Simpler prokaryotes reproduce faster since they have less structures to copy prior to replication.

The mitochondria and chloroplasts likely originated as independent prokaryotic cells, but this does not summarize an advantage of having internal membranes.

Compartmentalization likely leads to a lower mutation rate since the DNA is isolated from other reactions in the cell.
