Which do BOTH prokaryotes and eukaryotes contain?
A
nucleus
B
mitochondria
C
ribosomes
D
cell wall
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ribosomes occur both as free particles in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and as particles attached to the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. Ribosomes play a key role in the catalysis of two important and crucial biological processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eukaryotes have 80S ribosomes, whereas prokaryotes have 70S ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have structures in common. All cells have a plasma membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and DNA.
