which structure is found in the cytoplasm of a prokaryotic cell, but is not found in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell? dna ribosomes nucleus mitochondria
Answer
Answer:
None of the above options are correct. Prokaryotic cells have DNA, ribosomes in their cytoplasm. Nucleus and mitochondria are not found in prokaryotic cell cytoplasm, but the question asks for a structure in prokaryotic cytoplasm not in eukaryotic cytoplasm. A more appropriate answer could be a circular - shaped DNA molecule (plasmid) which is often present in prokaryotic cytoplasm and not a typical feature of eukaryotic cytoplasm.
Brief Explanations:
Prokaryotes have circular DNA (plasmids) in cytoplasm. Eukaryotes have linear DNA in nucleus and other organelles like mitochondria. Ribosomes are in both. Nucleus and mitochondria are eukaryotic features not prokaryotic cytoplasmic features as stated in the question's incorrect framing.
