The image presents a multiple-choice question designed to assess knowledge about cellular biology, specifically the components found in prokaryotic cells. The question and answers are as follows: **Question:** Which of the following are present in a prokaryotic cell? **Options:** - ○ mitochondria - ○ ribosomes - ○ chloroplasts - ○ endoplasmic reticulum - ○ none of the above A cursor is visible pointing at the option "endoplasmic reticulum." **Explanation:** This question tests the understanding of the fundamental differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, do not contain membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, chloroplasts, or an endoplasmic reticulum. However, they do contain ribosomes, which are involved in protein synthesis. Therefore, the correct option should be “ribosomes.”

Expert Solution
Step 1(Introduction)

The primary difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells is that prokaryotes do not have membrane bounded nucleus and membrane bounded cell organelles, whereas eukaryotic cells have membrane bounded nucleus and membrane bounded cell organelles. However prokaryotes and eukaryotes have ribosome, Eukaryotes have 80s ribosome whereas prokaryotes have 70s ribosomes.
