B) stretch receptors.

C) chemoreceptors.

D) volume receptors.

Answer: B) stretch receptors.

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelle and eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria.  

Therefore if the cell has mitochondria they must conclude that the cell is eukaryotic because the prokaryotic cell does not have mitochondria as it is a membrane-bound organelle.

To avoid risk of physical food contamination, it is important for food handlers to keep jewelries to a minimum, wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly, wear hear neatly tied back, throw out and replace cracked, chipped, or broken dishware, glassware and equipment amongst others.
