The answer is "True": In general, prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells.

Explanation:

  • Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, are typically much smaller in size compared to eukaryotic cells, such as paramecium and red blood cells. This is a well-established biological principle. Prokaryotic cells usually range from 0.1 to 5 micrometers in diameter, while eukaryotic cells are generally larger, ranging from about 10 to 100 micrometers in diameter. This size difference is due to the complexity and the presence of organelles in eukaryotic cells, which prokaryotic cells lack.
