Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nucleoid is a region in bacterial cells where the chromosome is located. It is not surrounded by a phospholipid membrane, unlike the nucleus in eukaryotic cells. The cell wall is located outside the cell membrane and provides structural support. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, and the cell membrane controls what enters and exits the cell. Therefore, the nucleoid is the correct label for the region observed without a phospholipid membrane surrounding the bacterial cells' chromosome.
