19 If prokaryotic cells such as bacteria do not have organelles how do they function?

he nucleus's main function is to hold the DNA. Prokaryotic cells do have the DNA but it is not surrounded by a membrane that separates it from the rest of the cell so the DNA just floats around in the region called nucleiod instead of being confined inside a nucleus.

∙ 14y agoAlthough prokaryotic cells don't have cell organelles, they have mechanisms to keep the cell in a functional state. For example, instead of having mitochondria to carry out aerobic respiration, prokaryotic cells carry out anaerobic respiration in the cytoplasm itself.

What cells are prokaryotes?
Prokaryotic Cells are cells that have to have organelles that are not surrounded by a membrane and do have ribosomes. Their DNA is in the shape of a circle. They have no nucleus, the DNA is bunched up in the cytoplasm. The type of cells that are prokaryotic are bacteria and only bacteria cells.
Sentence using prokaryotic cells?
.A Prokaryotic Cell does not contain a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles
What would contain prokaryotic cells Bacteria Fungi Plants Animals?
prokaryotic cells does not have nuclear membrane surrounded DNA, a characteristic of only bacterial cells.
Are plant cells prokaryotic?
Plant cells are Eukaryotic. Eukaryotic cells have a nuclei and membrane bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells are cells without a nuclei or membrane bound organelles. A bacteria cell is an example of a Prokaryotic cell. Plant and animal cell are examples for eukaryotic cells

What are the two basic kinds of cells?
The two basic kinds of cells are prokaryotic (bacteria) and eukaryotic cells, a eukaryotic cell has a nucleus and organelles, but prokaryotic don't have a nucleus and have ribosomes instead of organelles.
Cells like bacteria without a nucleus membrane-bound organelles?
prokaryotic
Which type of cell does not have a nucleus as well as many other membrane bound organelles?
Prokaryotic Cells (bacteria cells) do not have a nucleus or other organelles.

What type of cell do animals have?
Plants and animals have eukaryoteic cells, these cells have membrane bound organelles and nuclei. Bacteria have prokaryoteic cells. These cells lack membrane bound organelles and no nuclei.

Are plant cells prokaryotic?
Plant cells are Eukaryotic. Eukaryotic cells have a nuclei and membrane bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells are cells without a nuclei or membrane bound organelles. A bacteria cell is an example of a Prokaryotic cell. Plant and animal cell are examples for eukaryotic cells
What function is performed by eukaryotic cells but not prokaryotic cells?
The definition of eukaryotic is that of any organism having as its fundamental structural unit a cell type that contains specialized organelles in the cytoplasm, characteristics of all life forms except bacteria, blue algae and other primitive organisms.
Are insects eukaryote or prokaryote?
Insect cells are eukaryotic. Eukaryotic cells are defined by membrane bound organelles, the most prominent being the nucleus. Prokaryotic cells are defined by the lack of membrane bound organelles. The only organisms that are prokaryotic are bacteria and archebacteria.
Is archeabacteria prokaryotic?
Well, Prokaryotic Cells do NOT have a nucleus or other organelles. Eukaryotic Cells DO have a nucleus and other Organelles.
