Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Check all that apply Prokaryotic cells:
A
are small, simple
B
have free-floating DNA
C
have a nucleus
D
have a cell membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells, have no nucleus, and lack organelles. All prokaryotic cells are encased by a cell wall. Many also have a capsule or slime layer made of polysaccharide. Prokaryotes often have appendages (protrusions) on their surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -All prokaryote and eukaryote cells have plasma membranes. The plasma membrane (also known as the cell membrane) is the outermost cell surface, which separates the cell from the external environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -All prokaryotes have plasma membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, a cell wall, DNA, and lack membrane-bound organelles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have a plasma membrane, a double layer of lipids that separates the cell interior from the outside environment.

Detailed explanation-5: -Prokaryotes are predominantly single-celled organisms of the domains Bacteria and Archaea. All prokaryotes have plasma membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and DNA that is not membrane-bound.
