Question

students used a high - powered microscope to look at cells sampled from four different types of organisms. they recorded their observations about the cells in a table. which cell sample most likely came from prokaryotes? sample a sample b sample c sample d

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells lack membrane - bound organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts. They have their DNA in the cytoplasm (nucleoid region). Sample A has chromosomal DNA in the cytoplasm and lacks mitochondria and chloroplasts which are characteristics of prokaryotes. Sample B, C, and D have mitochondria (membrane - bound organelle), so they are less likely to be prokaryotes. Sample C and D are multicellular (prokaryotes are unicellular).

Answer:

Sample A
