To determine the best choice for structures labeled A based on the description provided, we need to analyze the potential characteristics of various cellular structures within a eukaryotic cell.
Let's break down the options:
A. "These structures do not have membranes." - This is generally true for certain structures like ribosomes, but given that the question refers to structures in a eukaryotic cell, this option may not be the best choice if we are considering organelles.
B. "These structures transport substances throughout the cell." - This could refer to structures like the endoplasmic reticulum or vesicles, which are indeed involved in the transport of substances.
C. "These structures produce energy for the cell in the form of ATP." - This best describes organelles like mitochondria, which are responsible for cellular respiration and energy production.
D. "These structures contain DNA and have a folded inner membrane." - This is characteristic of mitochondria as well, which contain their own DNA and have a highly folded inner membrane (the cristae).
Given the context of "eukaryotic cell" and the standard functions of cellular organelles, the structures labeled A are most likely mitochondria if they are responsible for energy production and fit the description in option D.
So, the best choice to describe the structures labeled A is:
D. These structures contain DNA and have a folded inner membrane.
