Fill in the following table with brief descriptions of the characteristics of prokaryotic cells.
To complete: The table with brief descriptions of the characteristics of prokaryotic cells.
Introduction: Cells are the smallest structural, functional, and biulogical units of all living organisms. They are modified in different ways to carry out various functions. They are divided into two types, namely prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms.
Explanation of Solution
Characteristics of the prokaryotic cells are mentioned in the table given below:

- In the diagram below, identify the structures of a cyanobacterial cell based on the following descriptions: a) Outer cellular covering which includes: Mucilaginous layer – outermost layer covering the cell wall; protects the cell from harmful factors of the environment Cell wall – found just below the mucilaginous layer; 2 or 3-layered, the inner layer lies in between the outer wall layer and plasma membrane; the outer layer is made of peptidoglycan Innermost plasma membrane – selectively permeable membrane enclosing the cytoplasm b) Cytoplasm – found below the plasma membrane; the protoplasm which contains structures of different shapes and functions. Lamellae, which contain pigments such as chlorophylls, carotenes, xanthophylls, phycoerythrin and phycocyanin, are located in the peripheral region of cytoplasm. Ribosomes may also be found scattered in the cytoplasm. c) Nucleic material – the nucleoplasm that is centrally located in the cell and contains chromatin in the form…arrow_forwardDescribe a eukaryotic cell in-depth and give an example of an organism that is made of eukaryotic cells.arrow_forwardExplain the difference between a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell.
