Question

refer to the sketch showing the internal structures of a prokaryotic cell. (click image to enlarge.) how would you label, in the correct sequence, the structures that you would encounter if you started at one exterior position of this cell and traveled straight through to its center? cell wall → capsule → cell membrane → nucleoid → cytoplasm → ribosome capsule → cell wall → cell membrane → cytoplasm → ribosome → nucleoid cell membrane → cell wall → capsule → cytoplasm → nucleoid → ribosome cell membrane → cytoplasm → cell wall → nucleoid → ribosome → capsule cell wall → capsule → cell membrane → ribosome → cytoplasm → nucleoid

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells have an outer - most capsule (in some cases), followed by the cell wall, then the cell membrane. Inside the cell membrane is the cytoplasm which contains ribosomes, and the nucleoid (the region where the genetic material is located) is also within the cytoplasm.

Answer:

Capsule → cell wall → cell membrane → cytoplasm → ribosome → nucleoid
