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.
