Which organelle is found in BOTH eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
A
cytoplasm
B
chloroplasts
C
nucleus
D
mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ribosomes are the cellular organelles that carry out protein synthesis. They are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Detailed explanation-2: -One major component of the cytoplasm in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes is the gel-like cytosol, a water-based solution that contains ions, small molecules, and macromolecules. In eukaryotes, the cytoplasm also includes membrane-bound organelles, which are suspended in the cytosol.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ribosomes are non-membrane bound organelles found in both eukaryotic as well as prokaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
