Prokaryotic cells have no membranous organelles and their activity takes place in the membrane. The way they receive nutrients can be autotrophic and heterotrophic.
Composition
One of the distinctive elements of a prokaryotic cell is that it lacks a nucleus. Instead it has a nucleoid, an irregular region located inside the cells.
Nucleoid
Function
This is where DNA is found.
Function
Organelles in the cytoplasm, responsible for protein synthesis.
ribosomes
Funtion
Regulates the entry and exit of substances into the cell.
Composition
In some places, the plasma membrane folds inwards forming mesosomes, structures involved in cellular respiration and reproduction.
