Question

what type of cell is described below?

• contains mitochondria
• contains ribosomes
• reproduces by mitosis
• performs photosynthesis

a bacteria
b prokaryote
c virus
d eukaryote

Explanation:

• Bacteria and prokaryotes lack mitochondria (they have simpler cell structures without membrane - bound organelles like mitochondria).
• Viruses are not cells (they are acellular entities that need a host cell to reproduce and do not have organelles like mitochondria or ribosomes in the traditional sense of a cell).
• Eukaryotes have mitochondria (for energy production), ribosomes (for protein synthesis), reproduce by mitosis (in somatic cells), and some eukaryotic cells (like plant cells) can perform photosynthesis.

Answer:

D. Eukaryote
