Organelles Have What Three Attributes

Question

Organelles have what three attributes?
A) Only in prokaryotic cells, membrane bound, have a dedicated set of tasks.
B) Only in eukaryotic cells, membrane bound, have a dedicated set of tasks.
C) Only in eukaryotic cells, seldom membrane bound, have a dedicated set of tasks.
D) Only in prokaryotic cells, membrane bound, multi-functional.
E) In both prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells, membrane bound, have a dedicated set of tasks.

Accepted Answer

Organelles are only found in eukaryotic cells, and they are membrane-bound structures that have a specific set of functions or tasks. This definition rules out options A, C, and D. Option E is partially correct in that organelles in eukaryotic cells are membrane-bound and have a dedicated set of tasks, but it is not exclusive to eukaryotic cells as organelle-like structures (such as ribosomes) are also present in prokaryotes. Therefore, the best answer is B.
