Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic structure of prokaryotic cells: Prokaryotic cells are simpler than eukaryotic cells and lack membrane-bound organelles.
Identify the common components of prokaryotic cells: Prokaryotic cells typically have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes.
Recognize the absence of certain organelles: Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus; their genetic material is located in a region called the nucleoid.
Compare prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells: Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, which are absent in prokaryotic cells.
Conclude which structure is not found in prokaryotic cells: Based on the characteristics of prokaryotic cells, the nucleus is not present.
