Question

Which of the following clues would tell you whether a cell is prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
a. the presence or absence of a rigid cell wall
b. whether or not the cell is partitioned by internal membranes
c. the presence or absence of ribosomes
d. Both b and c are important clues.

Accepted Answer

everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. A cell was studied under an electron microscope. The following features were observed in the cell. So we see that it has no membrane bound organelles. It lacks a nucleus and it contains 70 s ribosomes in the cytoplasm. So based on the fact that it says that the cell observed has no membrane bound organelles and lacks the nucleus. We can automatically figure out these are the same characteristics of pro carry ah tick cells which we've learned many times before. That pro carry, its lack member bound organelles and a nucleus. Here is one of those membrane bound organelles. So automatically answer. Choice A. Looks to be the right answer. But just to double check the presence of 70 esta ribosomes in the cytoplasm we also know is found in pro carry outs. So all three features that were observed are found in pro carry optic cells and answer choice B. C. And D. Are all eukaryotic. So that means that answer Choice A. Is the correct answer. Because the cell that was studied under that electron microscope is a pro carry ah tick cell. So answer choice A. Is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye
