Which of the following structure is not found in a prokaryotic cell?
Options
- ARibosome
- BMesosome
- CPlasma membrane
- DNuclear envelope
Correct answer
D. Nuclear envelope
Step-by-step solution
A true nucleus is absent in a prokaryotic cell. Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack organelles or other internal membrane-bound structures. Therefore, they do not have a nucleus. Instead, they generally have a single chromosome, a piece of circular, double-stranded DNA located in an area of the cell called the nucleoid.
