Biology

Now lets get started on Prokaryotic cells! Did you know that Prokaryotic cells have been here for billions of years and were the only form of life. all bacteria are made up of Prokaryotic cells.

Prokaryotes, first living organisms to evolve are distinguished as they dont have a membrane-bound nucleus. In fact, the only membrane in prokaryotic cells is the plasma membrane(the outer part of the cell itself). The genetic material is within the cytoplasm, ribosomes are their only type of organelle.

Prokaryotes are single-celled, except when they are in colonies. The ancestral cells now are represented by Archaea and Eubacteria. Their means of reproducing are by binary fission, duplicating their genetic material and then splitting to form two cells identical to it.

Did you know that the word Prokaryon can be split up into two words?
Pro = before , Karyon = nucles.

Prokaryote cells contains DNA strain in nucleoid, plasmid, ribosome, cutosol, flagellum, capsule, cell wall, plasma membrane and fimbriae.

The cytosol is the liquid found inside cells.

A flagellum is a tail-like projection that protrudes from the cell body of certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell.

Fimbriae a short attachment pili that are usually quite numerous.
