Which one of the following does not differ in E. coli and Chlamydomonas?

Which one of the following does not differ in E. coli and Chlamydomonas?
A Cell membrane
B Ribosomes
C Chromosomal organization
D Cell wall

Detailed Solution

E. coli is a prokaryote and Chlamydomonas is a eukaryote.
They differ in ribosomes (70S vs 80S), chromosomal organisation (naked circular DNA vs chromosomes with histones) and cell wall (peptidoglycan vs cellulose).
The cell membrane is structurally similar in both: a lipid bilayer with proteins.
