Multiple Choice
Do prokaryotic cells have a Golgi apparatus?
A
Yes; prokaryotes have a Golgi apparatus that packages proteins for secretion.
B
No; prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles such as the Golgi apparatus.
C
Yes; the Golgi apparatus is attached to the prokaryotic nucleoid to modify DNA.
D
Only archaeal prokaryotes have a Golgi apparatus; bacteria do not.
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the fundamental differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, focusing on the presence or absence of membrane-bound organelles.
Understand that the Golgi apparatus is a membrane-bound organelle responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins in eukaryotic cells.
Recognize that prokaryotic cells, which include bacteria and archaea, lack membrane-bound organelles such as the Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, and nucleus.
Note that prokaryotes perform protein processing and secretion through different mechanisms that do not involve a Golgi apparatus.
Conclude that the correct statement is that prokaryotes do not have a Golgi apparatus because they lack membrane-bound organelles.
