NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A prokaryotic cell is a simple, single-celled (unicellular) organism that lacks a nucleus, or any other membrane-bound organelle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Prokaryotic cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, but they have no internal membrane-bound organelles within their cytoplasm. The absence of a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles differentiates prokaryotes from another class of organisms called eukaryotes.

Detailed explanation-3: -A prokaryotic cell doesn’t have a nuclear membrane around the nucleus. The nucleus without a nuclear membrane is called the naked nucleus and it is not considered as a true nucleus. So prokaryotic cells don’t have a true nucleus.

Detailed explanation-4: -All cells fall into one of these two broad categories. Only the single-celled organisms of the domains Bacteria and Archaea are classified as prokaryotes-pro means before and kary means nucleus. Animals, plants, fungi, and protists are all eukaryotes-eu means true-and are made up of eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -The primary difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles are only present in eukaryotic cells.
