Multiple Choice
Which of the following structures is found in prokaryotic cells but not in eukaryotic cells?
A
Mitochondria
B
Nucleoid
C
Golgi apparatus
D
Endoplasmic reticulum
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are simpler and do not have membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have complex structures with membrane-bound organelles.
Identify the structures listed in the problem: Mitochondria, Nucleoid, Golgi apparatus, and Endoplasmic reticulum.
Recall that mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells.
Recognize that the nucleoid is a region in prokaryotic cells where the DNA is located, and it is not a membrane-bound structure.
Conclude that the nucleoid is the structure found in prokaryotic cells but not in eukaryotic cells, as it is unique to prokaryotes and lacks a surrounding membrane.
