Question

Which of the following characteristics do all cells share?

1) All cells have DNA
2) All cells have a plasma membrane
3) All cells have a nucleus
4) All cells have ribosomes
5) All cells have mitochondria

Answer 1

All cells share a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, DNA, and ribosomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

All cells share four common components: 1) a plasma membrane, an outer covering that separates the cell's interior from its surrounding environment; 2) cytoplasm, consisting of a jelly-like cytosol within the cell in which other cellular components are found; 3) DNA, the genetic material of the cell; and 4) ribosomes, which synthesize proteins.

However, prokaryotes differ from eukaryotic cells in several ways.
