Question

based on these characteristics, the student claims that the organism must be prokaryotic. which two characteristics can be used to defend their claim? a single - celled b has ribosomes c dna found in nucleoid d found living in pond water e lacks membrane - bound organelles f has cell wall

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells have DNA in a nucleoid region and lack membrane - bound organelles. Single - celled is not exclusive to prokaryotes, ribosomes are in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, living in pond water is not a defining feature, and cell walls are present in some eukaryotes (like plants) too.

Answer:

C. DNA found in nucleoid
E. Lacks membrane - bound organelles
