Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prokaryotic cells, unlike eukaryotic cells, do not have membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, or the Golgi apparatus. The cytoplasm of a prokaryotic cell is made up of two components: the cytosol, which is the liquid portion of the cytoplasm, and ribosomes, which are the protein-producing machines of the cell. The smooth ER is also a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells, and is not present in prokaryotes.
