Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

Prokaryotic cells are those cell that does not possess membrane-bounded nucleus e.g., bacteria, cyanobacteria. The characteristics of prokaryotic cells are as follows:
1. They are small in size 0.1 mm to 10 mm.
2. They do not possess membrane-bound organelles.
3. They have single circular DNA as genetic material and plasmid.
4. They possess mesosomes for respiration.
5. Some are autotrophic and some are saprotrophic.
