Question

given what is known about the minimal essential functions of cellular life, if you could create an artificial cell, what cellular structures must you include? multiple choice mitochondria nucleus cell wall ribosomes

Explanation:

Ribosomes are essential for protein - synthesis, a fundamental function of cellular life. Prokaryotic cells can survive without mitochondria, nucleus, and cell walls (in the case of animal - like cells). Protein - synthesis is crucial for all cellular processes, and ribosomes are the sites of this synthesis.

Answer:

D. ribosomes
