D)plasma membrane.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eukaryotes have a distinct nucleus that contains the genetic material, which is organized into chromosomes and associated proteins in a membrane-bound structure known as the nuclear envelope. The nucleolus is a distinct region within the nucleus where ribosomes are assembled. The plasma membrane is a structure that encloses the entire cell, separating its internal environment from the external environment. While the structure of the cell is important for eukaryotic function, it does not specifically define eukaryotes in contrast to prokaryotes.
