Which kind of cell is prokaryotic, may or may not have a cell wall, and has no membrane bound organelles?
A
Animal
B
Bacteria
C
Fungi
D
Plant
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms belonging to the domains Bacteria and Archaea. Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells, have no nucleus, and lack organelles. All prokaryotic cells are encased by a cell wall. Many also have a capsule or slime layer made of polysaccharide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack membrane-bound structures, the most noteworthy of which is the nucleus. Prokaryotic cells tend to be small, simple cells, measuring around 0.1-5 m in diameter. While prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound structures, they do have distinct cellular regions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: Mycoplasmas are prokaryotic cells that lack a cell wall.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cell walls of prokaryotes differ chemically from the eukaryotic cell walls of plant cells, which are primarily made of cellulose. In bacteria, for example, the cell walls are composed of peptidoglycans (sugars and amino acids), according to Washington University.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ribosomes are non membrane bound cell organelles.
