Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which do BOTH prokaryotes and eukaryotes contain?
A
nucleus
B
mitochondria
C
ribosomes
D
cell wall
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ribosomes are found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells contain many ribosomes; however the ribosomes of the eukaryotic cells are larger than prokaryotic ribosomes i.e. 80S compared to 70S.

Detailed explanation-3: -Key Points. All prokaryotes have 70S (where S=Svedberg units) ribosomes while eukaryotes contain larger 80S ribosomes in their cytosol. The 70S ribosome is made up of a 50S and 30S subunits.

Detailed explanation-4: -All prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have some similar features as they both contain ribosomes, genetic material, a cytoplasm, and plasma membranes.

Detailed explanation-5: -In a prokaryotic cell, the ribosome is of 70S type and in mitochondria of the eukaryotic animal cell, the ribosome is of the 80S type.
