ANSWER

A cell type without a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles is prokaryotic. Compared to eukaryotic cells, found in species including mammals, plants, fungi, and protists, prokaryotic cells are often smaller and simpler in structure.

Prokaryotic cells have several important traits, including:

    Lack of Nucleus: Prokaryotic cells lack an actual nucleus, unlike eukaryotic cells with a distinct nucleus containing the genetic material (DNA). Instead, the nucleoid, a part of the cell not physically isolated from the rest of the cell by a membrane, is where its genetic material is located.

    Lack of Membrane-Bound Organelles: Membrane-bound organelles seen in eukaryotic cells, such as lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and the Golgi apparatus, are absent in prokaryotic cells. Instead, depending on the type of prokaryote, they may have other specialized structures in addition to simpler ones like ribosomes, which are involved in protein synthesis.

    Prokaryotic cells typically have a more straightforward structure than eukaryotic cells and are smaller overall. Many compartmentalized structures that eukaryotic cells use to divide different biological functions are absent.

    Cell Wall: The stiff cell wall on most prokaryotic cells offers structural support and security. Various prokaryotes have various cell wall compositions, influencing how we classify them.

    Binary fission is a method of prokaryotic cell reproduction in which a single parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This reproduction technique is reasonably straightforward and effective.

Bacteria and archaea are the two significant organisms with prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotes, known as bacteria, can be found in various places, including soil, water, and the human body. While archaea and bacteria share many similarities, archaea frequently flourish in harsh environments, including hot springs, deep-sea hydrothermal vents, and highly acidic or alkaline conditions.

In conclusion, prokaryotic cells are a unique sort of cell with a more straightforward structure than eukaryotic cells. They are present in bacteria and archaea but lack a membrane-bound nucleus and other sophisticated organelles.
