Question

which cell structure serves the stated function in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells? nucleus: stores genetic material cytoplasm: protects cell structures ribosomes: regulate cell processes dna: surrounds cell contents

Explanation:

In both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, the cytoplasm is the gel - like substance that contains and protects cell structures. DNA is not what surrounds cell contents (cell membrane does that), ribosomes are for protein synthesis not regulating cell processes, and only eukaryotic cells have a nucleus to store genetic material.

Answer:

cytoplasm: protects cell structures
