Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Cyanobacterial cells (blue-green algal cells) are larger and more elaborate than bacteria.
In both the organisms the cell structure is typically prokaryotic type one envelope organisation with peptidoglycan wall, naked DNA.
Blue-green algae have chlorophyll, bacteria are devoid of chlorophyll. Cyanobacteria generally show aerobic respiration as they are photosynthetic, but bacteria exhibit both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
