Q
Prokaryotic Cells
A
Bacteria are Prokaryotes. They are single celled organisms and are between 0.2-2.0 micrometers in size. They are between 1-2 times smaller than Eukaryotes. They have a cytoplasm and cell membrane surrounded by a cell wall, but the cell wall isn’t made of cellulose like a plant cell. The genetic material in this cell is not enclosed, it is free in the cytoplasm.
