Does not contain a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles
A
Viruses
B
Bacteria
C
Both viruses and bacteria
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A prokaryote is a simple, single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Bacteria do not contain membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria or chloroplasts, as eukaryotes do.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cells that do not contain membrane-bound organelles are known as prokaryotic cells, for example-bacteria, mycoplasma, etc. These cells do not contain mitochondria, Golgi body, chloroplast, etc.

Detailed explanation-5: -There is no nucleus in a virus. Many typical cell components, like the mitochondria, nuclei, and even the ribosome, are absent in viruses. Even some of these viruses are cytoplasm-free. Viruses do not contain the organelles that cells do.
