The Only Cell Organelle Seen in a Prokaryotic Cell is (A) Mitochondria (B) Ribosomes (C) Plastids (D) Lysosomes

Answer: (B) Ribosomes 

Prokaryotes as well as eukaryotes are indeed the two types of cells. Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound structures, but prokaryotic cells have not. This ribosome seems to be the sole organelle detectable in both bacterial as well as eukaryotic cells.

  • They do not have a nuclear barrier
  • There are no mitochondria, Golgi bodies, chloroplasts or lysosomes
  • The genetic substance is only found on one chromosome
  • They lacked histone proteins, which are essential components of eukaryotic chromosomes
  • Carbohydrates as well as amino acids make up this cell wall
  • This plasma membrane serves as this mitochondrial membrane, which transports respiratory enzymes.
