Question
During a laboratory investigation, biology students were asked to classify organisms on prepared slides as either eukaryotes or prokaryotes. Which of the following features should the students be able to observe in BOTH types of cells?
ribosomes
mitochondria
nucleus
Golgi apparatus
ribosomes
mitochondria
nucleus
Golgi apparatus
Answers
GPT 3.5
ribosomes
Why is that the answer?
GPT 3.5
Ribosomes are present in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Ribosomes are the cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis in all living organisms. Therefore, students should be able to observe ribosomes in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells during the laboratory investigation.
On the other hand, mitochondria, nucleus, and Golgi apparatus are features that are specific to eukaryotic cells and not present in prokaryotic cells. Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for energy production in eukaryotic cells, the nucleus contains the genetic material, and the Golgi apparatus is involved in packaging and processing cellular molecules.
