Answer the following question given this paragraph:   The bacterium in Figure above is a prokaryote. Prokaryotes are microscopic organisms that have neither a membrane-bound nucleus nor membrane-bound organelles. Some cell biologists consider the term "organelle" to describe membrane-bound structures only, whereas other cell biologists define organelles as discrete structures that have a specialized function. Prokaryotes have ribosomes, which are not surrounded by a membrane but do have a specialized function, and could therefore be considered organelles. All metabolic functions carried out by a prokaryote take place in the plasma membrane or the cytosol.   Q: All metabolic functions carried out by a prokaryote take place in the plasma membrane or where else?   Choices:  - extracellular  - Shell  - mitochondrial  - cytosol  A:
**Answer**
cytosol

Answer the following question given this paragraph:   Prokaryotic cells grow to a certain size. Then they divide by binary fission. This is a type of asexual reproduction.   Q: Prokaryotic cells grow to a certain size and then they divide by which process?   Choices:  - linear fission  - binary fusion  - budding  - binary fission  A:
**Answer**

Show your work and conclude with the exact phrasing "Therefore, the final answer is [answer]." where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.
