Which of the following would not be observed in a bacterial cell?

Correct answer: B. Golgi apparatus

  • A. DNA
  • B. Golgi apparatus
  • C. Cell membrane
  • D. Ribosome

Explanation

The correct answer is the Golgi apparatus, as it is a membrane-bound organelle exclusive to eukaryotic cells and not found in prokaryotic cells like bacteria. While bacteria do have DNA, a cell membrane, and ribosomes, they do not have complex organelles such as the Golgi apparatus that are characteristic of eukaryotic cells.

About Cell Structure and Function

Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
