B)nucleoid area.
C)cell wall.
D)capsule.
E)flagella/cilia.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The plasma membrane in bacteria serves the same function as the plasma membrane in eukaryotes, such as regulating what enters and exits the cell. Bacteria do not have nuclei or other membrane-bound organelles like eukaryotic cells, so choices B, D, and E are not correct. While some bacteria do have a cell wall, it is not involved in the same functions as the organelles in eukaryotic cells, such as protein synthesis (performed by the ribosomes in eukaryotic cells) or ATP production (performed by the mitochondria in eukaryotic cells).
