Endomembrane system - - not in prokaryotes

cytoskeleton - - a structural part of cytoplasm sometimes occurrent in prokaryotes

mitochondria - - not in prokaryotes

nucleus - - if this is a "membrane-bound" nucleus, then definitely not in prokaryotes

cytoplasm - - this is the fluid that houses everything in the cell membrane

flagella - - little "tail" for locomotion, so no

cilia - - similar to flagella, little feelers usually for locomotion

ribosomes - - these make protein using amino acids

chloroplasts - - not in prokaryotes

membrane - - just a casing surrounding a cell or organelle

organelles - - general word for the parts of a cell that perform various functions

cell membrane - - just the casing for the cell, not where genetic material's located

nucleoid - - - ding ding ding : - ) this is it; a nucleoid is the genetic material which is loosely existing in the cytoplasm of a prokaryotic cell
