The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Prokaryotes**: Prokaryotes are organisms that lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Their genetic material is not enclosed within a nuclear membrane; instead, it is found in a region called the nucleoid within the cytoplasm. 2. **Analyze the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Amoeba - B) Alga - C) Eulothrix - D) Mycoplasma - E) Blue Green Alga 3. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Amoeba**: This is a unicellular organism classified as a protist and is a eukaryote because it has a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Therefore, it is not a prokaryote. - **Alga**: Algae are primarily eukaryotic organisms that also possess a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Thus, they are not prokaryotes. - **Eulothrix**: This is a type of green alga, which is also a eukaryote due to the presence of a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Hence, it is not a prokaryote. - **Mycoplasma**: Mycoplasma are the smallest known prokaryotes. They lack a true nucleus and do not have cell walls, which makes them a part of the prokaryotic kingdom. - **Blue Green Alga**: Also known as cyanobacteria, these organisms are prokaryotes. They perform photosynthesis but do not have a true nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. 4. **Identify the Correct Answer**: Based on the evaluation, both Mycoplasma and Blue Green Alga are included under prokaryotes. However, since the question asks for one option, the best choice is **D) Mycoplasma**, as it is a well-known representative of prokaryotes. ### Final Answer: **D) Mycoplasma**
