The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following cells is a prokaryote, we need to analyze each option provided: 1. **Virus**: - Viruses are not classified as prokaryotes or eukaryotes. They lack cellular structure and do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. They can only replicate inside a host cell and do not exhibit characteristics of living organisms outside of that context. 2. **Bacteria**: - Bacteria are single-celled organisms that are classified as prokaryotes. They lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, which are defining features of prokaryotic cells. Therefore, bacteria fit the definition of prokaryotes. 3. **Both A and B**: - Since viruses are not prokaryotes, this option is incorrect. Only bacteria are prokaryotic. 4. **Fungus**: - Fungi are eukaryotic organisms. They possess a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, which disqualifies them from being prokaryotes. Based on this analysis, the only prokaryotic cell among the options is **bacteria**. **Final Answer**: The prokaryotic cell is **bacteria**. ---
