Question

which cell structure serves the stated function in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?
o nucleus: stores genetic material
o cytoplasm: protects cell structures
o ribosomes: regulate cell processes
o dna: surrounds cell contents

Explanation:

• Nucleus: Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus.
• Cytoplasm: In both cell types, it protects cell structures.
• Ribosomes: Their function is protein synthesis, not regulating cell processes.
• DNA: It doesn't surround cell contents; cell membranes do.

Answer:

cytoplasm: protects cell structures
