Question

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

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Prokaryotic cells lack membrane - bound organelles. DNA is present in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes in the form of a circular chromosome and plasmids. Ribosomes are also present in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes for protein synthesis. However, a nucleus is a membrane - bound organelle that is absent in prokaryotes. Mitochondria are also membrane - bound organelles not found in prokaryotes, but the question asks for a structure present in prokaryote cytoplasm but not in eukaryote cytoplasm, and mitochondria are not in prokaryote cytoplasm.

Answer:

C. nucleus
