EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -The prokaryotic cell’s genetic material is located in an area with an irregular form called a nucleoid, which is a nucleus-like structure. Prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus. The nucleus is devoid of the nuclear membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Prokaryotes are organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles. Prokaryotes are divided into two distinct groups: the bacteria and the archaea, which scientists believe have unique evolutionary lineages. Most prokaryotes are small, single-celled organisms that have a relatively simple structure.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Prokaryotes (meaning ‘before nucleus’) are cells without a definite nucleus. The DNA floats in the cytoplasm and they divide through mitosis. RBC and platelets present in eukaryotes also do not have the nucleus.

Detailed explanation-5: -The prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus, membrane-bounded cell organelles (like chloroplast, mitochondria, ER, Golgi bodies, etc.) The respiratory enzymes are present in the cell membrane.
