Solution

The correct answer is 2 and 3. Prokaryotic cells do contain ribosomes and they do have a plasma membrane. However, they do not have a nuclear envelope surrounding their chromosomes, nor do they contain a Golgi apparatus or rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum. These are features of eukaryotic cells. Also, prokaryotic cells are generally smaller than eukaryotic cells, not larger.
