D
Prokaryotic cells
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the key difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells: prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles, including the nucleus, while eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus.
Recall that plant cells and animal cells are both types of eukaryotic cells, meaning they have a defined nucleus enclosed by a nuclear membrane.
Recognize that prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria and archaea, do not have a membrane-bound nucleus; instead, their genetic material is located in a nucleoid region without a surrounding membrane.
Therefore, when asked which type of cells do not have a membrane-bound nucleus, the correct answer is prokaryotic cells.
Summarize that the presence or absence of a membrane-bound nucleus is a fundamental characteristic distinguishing prokaryotes from eukaryotes.
