Solution

The correct option is D Ribosomes
Prokaryotic cells lack true nucleus as well as membrane bound organelles. Nucleus and membrane bound organelles are present only in eukaryotic cells. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the golgi complex, lysosomes, mitochondria, microbodies and vacuoles, etc. are membrane bound organelles which are present in eukaryotic cells. Ribosomes are non-membrane bound organelles found in both eukaryotic as well as prokaryotic cells.

Q. Distinguish the ribosomes of prokaryotic cells from that of eukaryotic cells?

Read the passage and answer the following question.

Ribosomes are the smallest cell organelles which can be seen only through an electron microscope. They are found in both prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic cells. Ribosomes are dense, round bodies which occur freely in the cytoplasm and may remain attached to the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum. Chemically, ribosomes are made up of ribonucleoprotein (in eukaryotic cells, the constituent of the ribosome is 40% protein and 60% ribosomal RNA). Ribosomes help in the process of protein synthesis. They are, therefore, called as the protein factories of the cell.

Q. Which of these statements is/are true?

(i) The surface area available for cellular functions in a prokaryotic cell is less than that in a eukaryotic cell.
(ii) The total genome size of a prokaryotic cell is always less than that of a eukaryotic cell.
(iii) Unlike eukaryotes, no special respiratory organelles are found in prokaryotes. Hence they respire at a much less rate than eukaryotes.
(iv) Eukaryotic cells show various membrane-bound organelles such as chloroplasts and nucleus while ribosomes are the only membrane-bound organelles found in prokaryotes.
