Ribosomes, nucleic acids, and plasma membranes

Explanation:

All cells, whether they are prokaryotes or eukaryotes, have cell membranes, ribosomes, and genetic material

Cells need to have ribosomes because they are the site of protein synthesis, and without proteins, the cell cannot function.

Cells need to have genetic material (DNA & RNA) because without them, the cells has no instructions for protein building, and without that, proteins can't be made, so the cell can't function. (Also keep in mind that even though prokaryotes dont have a nucleus, they still have genetic material. Just because a cell has no nucleus doesnt mean it doesnt have genetic material)

Cells need plasma membranes because without them, the cell really doesn't have anything to hold it together and monitor what enters and exits the cell.
