Prokaryotic Cell Structure and Function:

In bacterial cells, the genome consists of a single, circular DNA chromosome; therefore, the process of cell division is simplified Mitosis is unnecessary

Prokaryotes possess genetic material in the form of a single DNA loop called a Nucleoid that floats around freely inside the cell Bacteria include the

plant cell Prokaryotic cells: the smallest, simplest cell type The DNA is not housed within a nucleus cell walls Bacteria and archaebacteria are the only prokaryotic

cellular respiration The cells of all prokaryotes and eukaryotes possess two basic features: a plasma membrane, also called a cell membrane, and cytoplasm However, the cells of
