Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Unlike a eukaryotic cell, a prokaryotic cell does not have
A
DNA
B
a cell membrane
C
cytoplasm
D
a nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus. The nucleus is devoid of the nuclear membrane. On the contrary, the nucleus of the eukaryotic cells is enclosed by a nuclear membrane. A prokaryotic cell also lacks mitochondria and chloroplast, unlike a eukaryotic cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, a membrane-bound chamber where DNA is stored, while prokaryotic cells don’t. This is the feature that formally separates the two groups. Eukaryotes usually have other membrane-bound organelles in addition to the nucleus, while prokaryotes don’t.

Detailed explanation-3: -Prokaryotes are organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles. Prokaryotes are divided into two distinct groups: the bacteria and the archaea, which scientists believe have unique evolutionary lineages. Most prokaryotes are small, single-celled organisms that have a relatively simple structure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Unlike eukaryotes, prokaryotes have no membrane-bound organelles. This means that they lack a nucleus, mitochondria, and other advanced cell structures. All cells rely on protein components in order to function. Protein synthesis takes place on ribosomes, which can be found in all cell types.

Detailed explanation-5: -Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. There is a wide range of eukaryotic organisms, including all animals, plants, fungi, and protists, as well as most algae.
