The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Prokaryotic Cells**: Prokaryotic cells are simple, unicellular organisms that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. They include bacteria and archaea. 2. **Identifying Organelles**: In prokaryotic cells, the only organelle that can be identified is one that is not membrane-bound, as prokaryotes do not possess membrane-bound organelles like eukaryotic cells do. 3. **Analyzing Options**: - **Dictyosomes**: These are related to the Golgi apparatus and are found in plant cells, not in prokaryotes. - **Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)**: This is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells, so it is absent in prokaryotic cells. - **Mesosomes**: These are infoldings of the plasma membrane in prokaryotic cells and are considered the only organelle that can be identified in these cells. 4. **Conclusion**: Since mesosomes are the only organelle found in prokaryotic cells, the correct answer to the question is **mesosomes**. ### Final Answer: The only cell organelle seen in prokaryotic cells is **mesosomes**. ---
