Explanation:

The characteristics of prokaryotic cells are: Membrane bound cell organelles such as Mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, Chloroplasts are absent. A membrane bound well defined nucleus is absent. Genetic material is circular DNA and occurs naked in the cell cytoplasm.

Key Points

  • Prokaryotes lack an organized nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
  • Prokaryotic DNA is found in a central part of the cell called the nucleoid.
  • The cell wall of a prokaryote acts as an extra layer of protection, helps maintain cell shape, and prevents dehydration.
  • Prokaryotic cell size ranges from 0.1 to 5.0 μm in diameter.
  • The small size of prokaryotes allows quick entry and diffusion of ions and molecules to other parts of the cell while also allowing fast removal of waste products out of the cell.

Key Terms

eukaryotic: Having complex cells in which the genetic material is organized into membrane-bound nuclei.

prokaryotic: Of cells, lacking a nucleus.

nucleoid: the irregularly-shaped region within a prokaryote cell where the genetic material is localized
