A
membrane bound organelles
B
DNA or RNA
C
Cell membrane
D
Life
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotic cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, but they have no internal membrane-bound organelles within their cytoplasm. The absence of a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles differentiates prokaryotes from another class of organisms called eukaryotes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Eukaryotic cells are cells containing membrane-bound organelles and are the basis for both unicellular and multicellular organisms. In contrast, prokaryotic cells do not have any membrane-bound organelles and are always part of unicellular organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ribosomes are the non-membranous cell organelles observed in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells as well.

Detailed explanation-4: -Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms belonging to the domains Bacteria and Archaea. Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells, have no nucleus, and lack organelles. All prokaryotic cells are encased by a cell wall.
