Kingdom Protista Features · NCERT Biology

Being eukaryotes, the protist cell body contains:

  1. Only 70S ribosomes and no membrane-bound organelles
  2. Naked circular DNA lacking associated histone proteins
  3. A membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
  4. No mitochondria, obtaining energy exclusively through glycolysis
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

Protists are eukaryotic organisms, meaning they possess a true nucleus enclosed by a nuclear membrane. They also contain membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, Golgi bodies, and — in photosynthetic forms — chloroplasts.
