Which of the following are structures that can be found in prokaryotic cells?
A
Nucleoid
B
Chloroplasts
C
Mitochondria
D
Golgi apparatus
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic structure of prokaryotic cells: Prokaryotic cells are simpler than eukaryotic cells and lack membrane-bound organelles.
Identify the structures unique to prokaryotic cells: Prokaryotic cells have a nucleoid region where their genetic material is located, but they do not have a true nucleus.
Recognize that chloroplasts, mitochondria, and the Golgi apparatus are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells, not prokaryotic cells.
Recall that the nucleoid is a region within prokaryotic cells where the DNA is concentrated, and it is not enclosed by a membrane.
Conclude that among the given options, the nucleoid is the only structure that can be found in prokaryotic cells.
