Question

all cells have which of the following (select all that apply)

dna

cytoplasm

mitochondria

nucleus

cell membrane

ribosomes

Explanation:

To determine which structures all cells have, we analyze each option:

• DNA: All cells (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) contain genetic material, usually DNA.
• Cytoplasm: The gel - like substance within the cell where many cellular processes occur; present in all cells.
• Mitochondria: Only eukaryotic cells have mitochondria (prokaryotes lack membrane - bound organelles like mitochondria).
• Nucleus: Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus (they have a nucleoid region instead), so not all cells have a nucleus.
• Cell Membrane: A selectively permeable membrane that encloses the cell, present in all cells (prokaryotic and eukaryotic).
• Ribosomes: Involved in protein synthesis; both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have ribosomes (though prokaryotic ribosomes are smaller).

Answer:

A. DNA, B. Cytoplasm, E. Cell Membrane, F. Ribosomes
