D
Membrane-bound organelles
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic structure of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not.
Identify the characteristics listed in the problem: linear chromosomes, nucleus containing DNA, presence of a plasma membrane, and membrane-bound organelles.
Analyze each characteristic: Linear chromosomes and a nucleus containing DNA are features of eukaryotic cells, not prokaryotic cells.
Consider the presence of a plasma membrane: Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells have a plasma membrane, which is essential for maintaining the cell's environment and controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
Evaluate membrane-bound organelles: These are found in eukaryotic cells but not in prokaryotic cells. Therefore, the shared characteristic between both cell types is the presence of a plasma membrane.
