Which of these structures do prokaryotes and eukaryotes share?
A
Nucleus
B
Cell wall
C
Organelles
D
Ribosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have structures in common. All cells have a plasma membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and DNA. The nucleus is where cells store their DNA, which is the genetic material.

Detailed explanation-2: -All prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have some similar features as they both contain ribosomes, genetic material, a cytoplasm, and plasma membranes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ribosomes are made of two subunits, the large and the small subunit which comprises ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. In prokaryotes, ribosomes are made up from three different rRNA molecules, whereas in eukaryotes ribosomes are made up from four different rRNA molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -ribosome, particle that is present in large numbers in all living cells and serves as the site of protein synthesis. Ribosomes occur both as free particles in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and as particles attached to the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Both prokaryote and eukaryote cells have a cell membrane. This is a lipid bilayer that keeps the contents of the cell in and keeps unwanted substances out. The membrane controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell. The material inside both types of cells is called the cytoplasm.
