A prokaryotic cell lacks

• A. Endoplasmic reticulum
• B. Golgi complex
• C. Both a and b
• D. Ribosomes

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Both a and b

The correct option is C.

Explanation of the correct option:

1. A prokaryotic cell lacks a cellular structure. The nucleus is not membrane-bound, and the genetic material is dispersed throughout the cytoplasm.
2. In a prokaryotic cell, such as a bacterial cell, membrane-bounded organelles are missing.
3. Prokaryotes lack an endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and other membrane-bound organelles that are found in eukaryotic cells.

Final answer: A prokaryotic cell lacks Endoplasmic Reticulum and Golgi apparatus.
