Nucleic Acids (RNA and DNA) are made up of a series of nucleotides. The center of an amino acid is the carbon bonded to four different groups. The fourth group, R, is different for each amino acid. A nucleotide is composed of a five-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group.
A molecule is an electrically neutralgroup of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.Molecules are distinguished from ions by their lack of electrical charge.
Amino acids have a two-carbon bond. One of the carbons is part of a group called thecarboxyl group(COO-). A carboxyl group is made up of one carbon (C) and two oxygen (O) atoms.

Amino acids make up proteins and nucleotides make up nucleic acid that transfer genetic information from one generation to other
amino acids first appear then nucleotides

These two cells have several features in common. They also differ in several ways. The two cells share all but one feature liste

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The correct answer would be B) enclosed in a protein capsule

Almost all living cells contain DNA as their genetic material. DNA control and coordinates the function of the cell. The two cells also must contain the DNA.

Cellular respiration refers to the set of biochemical reactions by which the cell generates ATP or energy. All the living cells produce energy through cellular respiration, however, they may utilize the aerobic or anaerobic form of respiration.

A ribosome is found in all the living cells including animal cells, plants, bacteria et cetera. They form the site for protein synthesis in all the cells.

The protein capsule is not a universal feature of all living cells. Thus, it may be present in one cell type and absent in another cell type.
