Plant cell
D
Eukaryote
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the key difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells: prokaryotes do not have a membrane-bound nucleus, while eukaryotes do.
Recall that animal cells and plant cells are types of eukaryotic cells, meaning they have a defined nucleus enclosed by a membrane.
Recognize that the term 'eukaryote' refers to organisms with membrane-bound nuclei, so this option does not fit the description.
Identify that prokaryotes, such as bacteria and archaea, have genetic material that is not enclosed within a nuclear membrane.
Conclude that the organism type lacking a membrane-bound nucleus is a prokaryote.
