D
Nucleus
Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the basic difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells: Eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not.
Identify the structures listed in the problem: Ribosomes, Cell wall, Plasma membrane, and Nucleus.
Recall that ribosomes are present in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, as they are essential for protein synthesis.
Recognize that a cell wall can be found in both types of cells, although its composition may differ (e.g., peptidoglycan in prokaryotes and cellulose in plant eukaryotes).
Note that the plasma membrane is a common feature of all cells, serving as a barrier and regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell. The nucleus, however, is unique to eukaryotic cells, housing the cell's genetic material.
