Prokaryotic Cell Diagram
Below is a bacterial diagram showing all the characteristics of prokaryotic cells. In the diagram nucleus membrane is absent and the genetic material is in the cytoplasm which is the main difference between the Prokaryotic cell and Eukaryotic cell
Prokaryotic Cells
Prokaryotic cells are single-celled organisms that lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Their genetic material is present in a nucleoid region. They are normally smaller than eukaryotic cells, with a size range of 0.1 to 5 μm in diameter. Prokaryotic cells for example bacteria and archaea have a cell wall and fimbriae and pili can often be found on the surface of bacterial cells. They evolved before the eukaryotic cells and live in nearly all environments on Earth. They have the ability to adapt to diverse environments.
