Which of the following structures is found exclusively in prokaryotic cells?
A

C
Nucleoid
D
Mitochondria
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are simpler, lacking membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have complex structures with organelles.
Identify the structures listed in the problem: Golgi Apparatus, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Nucleoid, and Mitochondria.
Recall that the Golgi Apparatus, Endoplasmic Reticulum, and Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells.
Recognize that the nucleoid is a region within prokaryotic cells where the cell's DNA is located, not enclosed by a membrane.
Conclude that the nucleoid is the structure found exclusively in prokaryotic cells, as it is not a membrane-bound organelle and is specific to prokaryotes.
