Question

Which descriptions apply to prokaryotic cells? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Are usually single-celled.

2. Do not contain membrane-bound organelles

3. Have DNA located in cytoplasm

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells are single-celled organisms which have the following characters:

1. They lack a true nucleus and hence, they do not have their genetic material enclosed in a nuclear membrane-bound nucleus, rather it is present in the cytoplasm.

2. They lack all the membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc.

3. They are usually. very small in size and hence are microscopic.

Examples include all the bacterias.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer will be options-

1. are usually single-celled

2. do not contain membrane-bound organelles

3. have DNA located in cytoplasm

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are the organisms which were formed during the primordial time on Earth and are therefore considered the primitive form of life.

Since they are primitive forms like bacteria, therefore, they lacked the membrane-bound organelles, their genetic material is present freely floating in the cytoplasm due to lack of nucleus.

The only primitive form of life known to us are single-celled organism called bacteria.

Thus, the selected options are the correct answer.
