Solution

The statement that is not true about a prokaryotic cell is: "Membrane bound organelles are present inside the cytoplasm".

Here's why:

  1. "Nuclear region is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane" - This is true. Prokaryotic cells do not have a true nucleus; instead, their genetic material is located in a region called the nucleoid, which is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane.

  2. "Cell division takes place by budding" - This can be true. While most prokaryotic cells divide by binary fission, some can also reproduce through budding.

  3. "Membrane bound organelles are present inside the cytoplasm" - This is not true. One of the key characteristics of prokaryotic cells is that they lack membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria or a Golgi apparatus.

  4. "Size of the cell varies from 1 μm to 10 μm" - This is true. Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller than eukaryotic cells, and their size does indeed range from about 1 to 10 micrometers in diameter.
