Question

Which of these do prokaryotes and eukaryotes have in common? a. ribosomes b. microtubules c. cellulose d. nucleus
Options
A ribosomes
Correct Answer
B microtubules
C cellulose
D nucleus
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells require ribosomes for protein synthesis. While they differ in size (70S vs 80S), the presence of ribosomes is a universal feature. A nucleus, microtubules (part of cytoskeleton), and cellulose (cell wall component) are generally not found in prokaryotes.

Hint

All cells need to make proteins, so which tiny factory is essential for both?
