Answer the question using the accompanying figure. Which type of cell is represented in this
figure? a Gram-negative bacterium a Gram-positive bacterium an cell either a Gram-positive
or a Gram-negative bacterium any prokaryotic cell
Solution
The above diagram is of a Prokaryotic cell. Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack
organelles or other internal membrane-bound structures. Therefore, they do not have a nucleus,
but, instead have a single chromosome, a piece of circular, double-stranded DNA located in an
area of the cell called the nucleoid.
